Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action went six-ways to a monotone flop of 5♥Q♥2♥ with over 7,000 in the middle where everyone checked.

The turn landed the J♠ and it checked to Trung Pham in late position, who bet 2,000. Only the under-the-gun player continued to the Q♠ river where both players checked.

"I have four-high," said under the gun, as Pham tabled J♥8♦ for two pair, queens and jacks to claim the pot.
