Pham Extends Lead (With a Bluff?)
Level 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
David Pham raised to 9,000 from the button preflop. He was only called by Matt Berkey in the small blind.
Both players checked on the 
flop to the 
on the turn. The turn card prompted Pham to bet 12,500 chips after Berkey checked to him a second time. Berkey thought about it for a bit, then put his chips into the pot for a call.
On the 
river Berkey checked a third time to Pham who made a bet of 20,000. Berkey went deep into the tank but eventually mucked his hand.
"Show a bluff," someone at the table said to Phan.
Phan obliged turning over the 
.
"I didn't even know what card it was," Phan said. "I just grabbed one and turned it over."
