Not a Bad Flop

David Pham
David Pham
We caught up to this hand on the flop. There was about 1,500 in the pot and the board showed {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. David Pham checked from middle position and his opponent bet 1,300 from the button. Pham called and the {5-Clubs} hit the turn.

Pham checked again and his opponent pushed all in for roughly 14,000. Pham called all in for approximately 7,000 and the players showed:

Pham: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades} {J-Spades}

The river blanked, falling the {8-Clubs}, and Pham doubled to about 18,000 chips.
