The Dragon Breathes Fire

Three players juiced the pot to about 5,000 preflop and saw a flop of {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Spades}. David "The Dragon" Pham checked, as did the player in the hijack. The cutoff then bet 3,000 only to have Pham raise to 6,300.

The hijack folded and the decision was back to the player in the cutoff. He thought about it for a few moments before folding {A-}{10-}. Pham quietly mucked as increased his stack to 30,000.
