Teng Eliminates Pham and Takes Big Chip Lead
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
On the final hand before the break a big pot developed with the board reading 
.
Victor Teng checked and Tien Pham bet 3,500 with Jonathan Duhamel calling. Teng then opted to check-raise to 15,000 as Pham called all in for slightly less before Duhamel folded.
Pham tabled his 
for a straight, but it would be Teng's 
that would see him eliminated Pham while simultaneously moving his stack to 112,000 - good enough for the big chip lead.
