Pham Falling

David Pham bet 800 on a flop of {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {6-Clubs} after his one opponent, the big blind, checked. The big blind then raised to 2,000 and Pham called.

On a turn of {9-Hearts}, the big blind bet 3,000. Again Pham called.

The river fell {9-Clubs} and the big blind bet 5,000. Pham went into the tank for about three minutes, long enough for ESPN's cameras to wander by. He did eventually make the fold, but he's down to 5,025 in chips.
