Pham Gets Boghean Off a Higher Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Cong Pham raised to 325,000 from early position with 10♥8♥ and Andrei Boghean called in the cutoff holding K♠10♠.
The Q♦J♥3♦ flop gave both players a straight draw and Boghean called a bet of 350,000 from Pham. The 9♦ fell on the turn, completing each players' straight but giving Boghean a higher straight.
Pham checked over to Boghean who bet 575,000. Pham then came back with a raise to 3,725,000, enough to put Boghean all in, and Boghean tanked for a few minutes before laying down his hand.
