Schwartz Leaves Pham Short

Brandon Temple

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Cong Pham raised to 40,000 on the button, and Luke Schwartz called in the big blind.

Schwartz led out for the full 88,000 pot on the flop, and Pham called.

"Yeah, take it all," Pham said with a smile.

Schwartz potted it again on the turn, enough to put Pham at risk for his last 241,000. Pham thought briefly, then decided to release his hand.
