Hung Pham limped in from middle position, Luis Nargentino completed the small blind and Thierry Van Den Berg checked his option.

The flop came down {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} and the action was checked to Pham. He bet 60,000, Nargentino folded, and Van Den Berg moved all in for 346,000. Pham made the call.

Van Den Berg {J-Spades} {6-Spades}
Pham {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Van Den Berg was looking for a spade to survive, but couldn't find one on the {3-Hearts} or the {9-Diamonds} river, his Main Event run ended in 138th place.

After the hand, Pham was up to 2,280,000.
