Alain scored the huge double up on a board to take over the chip lead 3-handed, until he lost it all to Tam ho in the following few hands.
Tam defended his big blind after Alain raised his button, and the two tangoed to an all diamond board. Tam checked, and then raised all-in after Alain fired a bet of 500K – who made the call.
Tam tabled for a flopped flush, and was in great shape versus Alain’s . The turn brought some hope for Alain, but the river sealed the deal for Tam, who doubled his 4,135,000 stack.
On the very next hand, Tam moved in from the small blind, putting pressure on now short-stacked Alain, who made the quick call.

Tam connected just enough with the board to score the knockout, and bring the field down to heads-up. He currently holds over 9 million in chips, while his opponent Christian sits at around 600K.
