Lam Turns a Straight to Eliminate One

Livello 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Vincent Lam raised to 1,200 in middle position and was called by both the small and big blind.

The 9♥6♦2♦ flop was checked through to see the 8♥ turn. The small blind led for 3,000 and the player next to act made the call before Lam put in a raise to 15,000. The original bettor folded and the player in the middle called off his stack of 7,800.

Opponent: A♣10♥6♥3♦
Vincent Lam: Q♠J♥10♠7♥

Lam turned a straight with a redraw to a queen-high flush, dominating his opponent's ten-high flush draw and the 3♠ river changed nothing as Lam pulled in the pot.
