Ham Saved By the River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 3♥6♠J♣ and Dan Ham was all in for 45,800 with Eric Welch putting him at risk.
Dan Ham: A♠A♣ 
Eric Welch: J♠J♥
Ham was on the brink of elimination with his pocket aces after Welch flopped a set of jacks. The turn was no help to Ham when the 8♥ hit the felt. But Ham's tournament life was saved when the A♥ came on the river to give him top set and double up against Welch's set of jacks.
