Up and Down for Tien Dung Pham

Level 7: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Tien Dung Pham pushes all-in from the button on the T 9 2 J turn and his opponent in the hijack reluctantly calls for the 16,800 they have behind, exposing A K for a gutshot broadway draw.


Pham reveals A A and holds on the 8 river.


He Zhou then opens, Pham three-bets to 6,000. Edgar Antezana calls, Zhou then jams for 43,400. Pham gives it some thought and then calls, Antezana folds.


He Zhou: A K Tien Dung Pham: T T


The A Q 8 7 2 board erases the profit of the previous hand.
