David Pham Doing His Thing

David Pham had raised a number of hands in a row to grab the blinds and antes but on one occasion laid his hand down in the face of a reraise. Pham once again raised, this time to 1,800, and a player to his right called. The flop came {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and Pham asked his opponent how much he had left. Finding out the answer was 3,050 Pham bet that amount and his opponent called with the {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Pham had {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}, the board ran out {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} to give Pham the hand, and he's now up to 34,000.
