TEDDY PHAM breaks the runner up curse at the High Roller Single Day
A very familiar face made headlines, Pham Quyet Tien aka Teddy Pham, who bested the 42 runners of the High Roller Single Day. Pham is no stranger to final tables but winning has been a challenge with four runner up finishes at previous festivals. That curse has now been lifted with a trophy to commemorate the special moment. To seize the win, the final 3 players struck a deal then flipped for it. Luck was on Pham’s side for his first victory this year. Watch the final table race via the Grand Loyal Poker Club facebook page.
