Pham Vs Tran for the Chip Leads
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of 6♠9♦7♣7♥, Trung Pham led out for 180,000 but was then raised to 650,000 by fellow big stack Andrew Tran.
After thinking it over, Pham decided to make the call and the two continued to the river K♠. Pham checked once more and Tran decided to check back.
Pham then confidently tabled 8♥9♥ for nines and sevens and Tran raised his eyebrows and held a brief hand funeral before he mucked his hand. Pham was then shipped the huge pot to jump him into the chip lead.
