On a flop of {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

, Kido Pham bet 40,000. Marty Smyth, who had checked the action to Pham, thought and then called. Both players checked through the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn. On the river {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

, Smyth checked a third time. Pham took that as his cue to bet 144,000, but Smyth made the call and tabled the winning hand: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

. His double-suited aces didn't make anything better than two pair, aces and tens, but upon seeing the hand, Pham mucked his own.

There was some smack-talk between the two after Smyth picked off the bluff. We'll keep an eye on it to see how it develops.
