Cowboys Hold for Pham

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Steve Pham was on the button and had 2,600 committed to the pot and was facing a raise to 8,500 by the big blind. Pham jammed and covered his opponent. The big blind thought it over for a couple of minutes before putting in his stack of approximately 16,000 more.

Big Blind: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Steve Pham: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out all low cards as it came {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Another player mentioned he had folded sevens. "Give it to him dealer, he would've had quads," another player attempted to persuade the dealer. Instead, Pham raked in the pot with his kings and his opponent was knocked out.
