Well Played Sir

Kido Pham - Day 2a
Kido Pham - Day 2a
Kido Pham played a routine pot which he took down on the turn with a bet. After Pham's two opponents folded, the dealer dropped and spread the deck as they usually do. Pham's eyes perked up and he looked closely at the deck.

In a very sincere tone, he pointed out a possible marked card in the deck. The dealer retrieved a few cards from the muck, but eventually Pham grabbed the card in question and checked it out. It was the {2-Hearts} and Pham tossed it back into the pile.

After some mild confustion, it quickly become obvious that there was no marked card, and this was merely a ploy by Pham to see the would-be river card. It worked quite well.
