Pham Stays Alive
Level 22
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
David Pham had his stack of 270,000 in the middle from the hijack and had been put at risk by Nelson Dong.
David Pham: A♠K♦ 
Nelson Dong: K♥6♥
Pham was well ahead with his Big Slick and flopped top pair on the 7♣K♠9♥ board. A 3♥ on the turn made things a little sweaty as Dong picked up a flush draw, but the A♣ river secured the double for Pham.
