Pham Running Up A Stack

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Vinh Pham started the hand on the button. A player in middle position raised to 8,500. Pham called on the button as did the small blind.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and the small blind pushed all in for a little over 20,000. The initial raiser folded and Pham called.

Pham: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

It was top pair versus straight draw. Pham didn't have to sweat because the {7-Clubs} came on the turn. The river blanked and Pham got the knockout. He sits with a healthy 260,000 in chips.
