Hamby Gains Momentum

Jared Hamby
Jared Hamby
Jared Hamby was all in before the flop for about 85,000 holding {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. He found action from Scott Pendergrast who tabled {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, trailing in the hand but having Hamby's tournament life in his hands.

The flop came {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {A-Spades}. Hamby stared at the board. "Is that a good flop for me?" he asked with a chuckle. "I can't lose." Indeed, he needed only to dodge running fours to stay alive. The turn was the {3-Spades}, and the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river, locking up the full pot for Hamby with his ten kicker playing. He's notched a big double up, sitting now with 180,000 -- his high point for the day.
