Tough Times (and Timing) for Pham

David "The Dragon" Pham just can't get on track today. A player raised in early position to 550, then a player in middle position tossed out a yellow (1,000) chip and two greens (25). His action was interpreted as a raise, even though he said he meant just to call and get change for his bet.

Pham then reraised to 3,050 from late position. The blinds and initial raiser folded, and the accidental reraiser made the call.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, and the MP player fired out 6,000. Pham said he thought the player had something like king-jack and folded. The player showed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} as he dragged the pot.

The Dragon is now down to 7,000.
