Gray With Double Stack; Pham Loses One

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Aussie Poker Hall of Fame member Jason Gray has started well into Day 1 and already doubled his stack. New faces in the field include Ashish Gupta, Martin Ward and Minh Nguyen.

Dinh Pham is also in the Day 1 field and just lost a pot to drop below the starting stack. Pham raised to 500 first to act just before the blinds went up and the big blind called. A continuation bet of 600 by Pham on the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop was check-called and the {5-Hearts} turn and {k-Spades} river were checked. The big blind tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and that won the pot.
