Pham Not Sitting Still

Consistent with his advertised style, David Pham has been very active today in the Tropical Room.

In a recent pot, a player limped to him in the big blind, and the two men saw a cheap flop heads up. The first three cards off the deck were {2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}, and both players checked.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts}, and Pham again checked. This time his opponent decided it was time, and bet out 500. Without much delay, Pham put in a check-raise up to 2,150. The other player called, and the river paired the board, {K-Hearts}. Pham again checked, and his opponent thoughtfully pushed his remaining 4,325 chips forward.

Pham, at this point in the hand, had about 5,500 left, and he deliberately counted and re-counted his stack, cutting out calling chips, and then putting them back several times. Finally, after about five minutes of camera time, Pham let it go.
