Pham Eliminates Zizka with a Full House
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Zdenek Zizka opened to 1,100,000 in hijack and Trung Pham in the small blind raised to 2,100,000, effectively putting Zizka all in. Zizka pushed his remaining 1,000,000 for a call, putting his tournament life on the line and taking both of them to showdown.
Zdenek Zizka: A♣8♣ 
Trung Pham: A♥A♦
Zizka sat quietly as he watched the dealer peel the 4♥7♥3♠ flop. Pham pushed further ahead when the A♠ turn dropped for a set. Just to give Zizka the coup de grâce, the 7♠ river fell giving Pham a full house.
