Straight for Pham
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vincent Albert opened to 35,000 from early position. Gabriel Andrade called in the cutoff. Danny Wong came along from the small blind before Andrew Pham went all-in for 174,000. Albert went all-in as well, pushing out Andrade and Wong to put Pham at risk.
Andrew Pham: A♦9♠7♦7♠
Vincent Albert: K♥K♠9♣4♠
Pham gained a gutshot straight draw on the J♠3♣8♦ flop. The 4♥ turn was of no consequence to either player, but the 10♦ river was just what Pham needed as he hit his straight to stay in contention.
