Woodside Bows Down to Pham Heat
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Richard Schmitt opened to 1,500 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 5,000 by Nikki Woodside in late position. Immediately to her left, Steven Nguyen Pham ramped up the pressure with a sizable four-bet to 13,000, putting the action back on Schmitt.
After a moment in the tank, Schmitt elected to fold. Woodside, unfazed, quickly made the call, taking the hand heads-up to the flop.
The dealer spread A♠5♦4♠. Woodside checked while locking eyes with Pham, perhaps searching for a read. But Pham remained expressionless as he fired out a bet of 11,000. After a brief pause, Woodside gave up the hand, and Pham dragged the pot without showing a card.
