Pham Doubles with Aces
If there is a remedy for having to fold ace-king pre-flop, it just might be having someone shove into you when you hold aces.
Moments ago Hoai Pham opened to 20,000 from under the gun, and when the action folded to Brian Phillis in the small blind he went into the tank. After asking for a count of Pham's chips, Phillis pushed all-in and Pham snapped it off spiking onto the table.
Phillis showed and received no help from the board.
"Thank you!" Pham shouted into a mostly-empty Amazon Room.
After the double up, Pham is now back above six-figures with 138,000 chips and Phillis is down to 102,000 chips.
