Pham Holds to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Cong Pham raised to 275,000 in early position, and Sergio Aido was the only caller in the big blind.
The dealer fanned out the 4♦8♠J♦ flop, and Aido checked. Pham continued for 300,000, with Aido then check-raising to 800,000.
Pham replied by moving all in, and Aido called.
Cong Pham: K♣K♥ 
Sergio Aido: K♦Q♦
Pham was able to dodge Aido's outs on the 8♣ turn and 7♣ river, staying alive and doubling up.
