A Pham, a Sam and a Jam: A Poker Trinity
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was joined on the river with roughly 5,000 in the middle and a full board showing Q♥2♣2♥7♠2♦.
Action was on Brian Pham, who moved all in. Pham had the larger stack of the two remaining players, and as such, was asking his opponent to risk his tournament life.
Jereld Sam was the player trying to figure it out. He had a stack of 12,600, so the all-in was for significantly more than the pot.
After a minute or two had passed, he committed his remaining stack and quickly received good news. Pham rolled over his K♣J♠ for just king-high. Sam turned over Q♦J♣ for a full house, and once his stack amount was confirmed, the double up was pushed in his direction.
