The Dragon's Wings Clipped

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Soichiro Kojiya opened from early position and David "Dragon" Pham three-bet out of the big blind to 4,500. Kojiya four-bet, making it 12,000 and Pham five-bet to 22,000. Kojiya six-bet jammed for 31,800 more and sent Pham into the tank.

"Can I fold kings twice?" Pham muttered as he agonized over the decision. "I can't fold kings twice." Indeed he didn't and slid the calling chips forward.

Kojiya: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Pham: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Kojiya scored a big double up.
