Pham Gets Caught Bluffing
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ryan Otto opened to 65,000 in the hijack with K?Q? and was called by Hong Pham on the button with J?7? and Dave Mcconachie in the big blind with A?10?. The flop came A?Q?9? and the action checked to Pham who bet 60,000. Both Mccconachie and Otto stuck around after flopping pairs.
The turn brought the 5? and the action checked around to the K? on the river. Mcconachie and Otto checked again and Pham took a shot witha bet of 360,000. Mcconachie called and Otto laid down the best hand. Mcconachie's pair of aces was enough to catch Pham bluffing and he moved into second place.
