| Tyreem Williams (Philadelphia, PA) |
Everyone who makes a deep run in a tournament will look back at one hand that they maybe "got lucky" on or that should have knocked them out earlier in the tournament.
And while we aren't sure how Tyreem Williams' Day 1 and Day 2 went, we are certain that a recent hand with Jonathan Borenstein was "that hand" for Tyreem.
The action was picked up with Tyreem all-in and at risk and turning over J♥J♠ for an over pair to the board of 5♥3♥4♠.
Tyreem was drawing as good as dead as Borenstein held A♥2♥ for a flopped straight, with a redraw to the nut flush draw.
As the turn card came, Tyreem had a 4% chance of winning the hand.
The turn was the 4♦ giving Tyreem close to 2% more equity to win the pot with a full house.
Borenstein realized that, and almost couldn't watch the river, despite being a near lock to win the hand.
He certainly couldn't watch or even bare to be near the table as the J♣ spiked on the river, giving Tyreem a runner-runner full house to save his tournament.
A massive roar was heard from Williams' rail, and Borenstein's emotions were the polar opposite.
Borenstein was chopped down to 6,500,000 while Tyreem Williams is now up over the chip average for the first time in Day 3.
