Pham and Schwarmann Continue to Butt Heads
Level 22
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
David Pham and Nick Schwarmann are the tournament's chip leaders and they are continuing to butt heads. Surely it is only a matter of time before another huge hand develops.
Pham opened on the button and Schwarmann defended his big blind with a call. Schwarmann then check-called a 28,000 bet on the 
flop, before both players checked the 
turn. Schwarmann then checked the 
river, only to see Pham bet 67,000.
Schwarmann's face spoke a thousands words; he did not believe Pham's story. One minute passed before Schwarmann picked up his card, and threw them into the muck.
"Nice hand, sir. I had a nice pair," said Schwarmann.
