The Dragon Strikes

Level 2 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop of {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} Matt Gianetti checked from the big blind to David "The Dragon" Pham who was under the gun. Pham checked to Andrew Lichtenberger who was on the button. From the button, Lichtenberger made it 1,800 to go. With action back on Gianetti, he put in a reraise to 4,225. Pham called but Lichtenberger ended up folding.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Gianetti continued with a bet of 6,100. Pham called. On the {4-Diamonds} river, Gianetti slowed down.

This is where Pham decided to strike. He fired out 15,600 and that was enough to get Gianetti to fold without much thought.
