Pham Earns a Fold, Grabs Lead

Edward Pham

William Tonking opened for 32,000 from the cutoff and picked up three callers in Chris Klodnicki (button), Edward Pham (small blind), and Richard Allen (big blind).

The quartet saw the flop come {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}, and it checked to Tonking who bet 69,000. Klodnicki raised to 150,000, and Edward Pham called the raise from a seat over before both Allen and Tonking folded.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and a leading bet of 200,000 from Pham. Klodnicki considered for nearly a minute before finally raising his eyebrows and shrugging slightly as he folded his hand.

Pham has now grabbed the chip lead from Klodnicki with about half an hour left in Level 22.
