. Pham pauses for a moment and then checks. Mizrachi moves all in, standing up to await his fate. He has Kido slightly covered, and the winner of this pot would be the big chip leader regardless of the outcome.The two men engage in a little brief chatter, and Pham throws his head back, tortured by the decision he faces. After a few minutes of standing, Mizrachi's legs apparently get a little tired. He sits back down and again the two men exchange some more short conversation. From the rail, The Grinder's wife catches her man's eye and holds one finger up to her mouth in the, "Shhh" gesture.

. Pham goes into the tank. He has two players behind him yet to act, and one in front who has bet almost the full pot. After a minute, he decides his best play is a raise to 650,000. He's right; everyone else folds.
