Sam Nee Increases His Chip Lead

After a series of raises, Huy Pham has a wager of 15,500 sitting in front of him on the cutoff, and chip leader Sam Nee ponders a call in middle position. He decides to come along for the ride and the flop is dealt [9h8d7s].

Pham gets the last of his chips in with [KhKd] and Nee calls with [8h7h]. The turn and river are dealt [3hJs] and Pham’s tournament run comes to an end. It’s an entirely different matter for Nee, who increases his chip lead to 273,000.

Sam Nee – 273,000 (170 bb)
