Dragon Breathes Some Fire

David Pham
David Pham
David Pham raised to 3,600 from early position with Shawn Farmer making the call in the small blind.

They saw a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Farmer led out confidently for 5,000 however Pham fought back with a raise to 16,500 to send Farmer into the tank. Clearly at pain with the decision he stood and anguished for many minutes.

"Is this it David? This will be a huge laydown..." pondered Farmer. He still couldn't reach a decision and the clock was called. As the seconds ticked down Farmer finally mucked {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} face up on the table.

Pham collected the pot and flashed {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for a big draw. "The Dragon" is up to around 110,000 chips.
