Pham Following Orders from the Rail

Kido Pham opened to 1,200 in early position and got calls from one player in mid position and another on the button before the gentleman in the big blind reraised to 2,650. Back to Pham, who re-popped for 8,200 and the other two players got out of the way. The big blind wasn't having any of it, though, and five-bet to 19,625. Pham flat-called and they saw a flop.

This was a very, very large pot by this point.

They saw a {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop and the rest of the chips went in.

Pham: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Big Blind Opponent : {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

"Turn a jack!" came a random cry from the rail.

Turn: ding! {j-Hearts}

River: {5-Diamonds}

The hapless gentleman with the queens hit the rail before dinner, while Pham was up to an impressive 107,000.

"Hey Kido, did you hear that?" called out the railer. "I said to turn a jack!"
