Pham Outkicks Monroe; Chip Counts from Table 6
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Danny Pham raised to 7,500 from early position and action folded around to Rich Monroe, who called from the small blind. Aaron Frei was in the big blind and defended to take action three ways to the streets.
The flop fell 
and action checked to Pham, who made a continuation-bet of 16,500. Monroe called and Frei folded, resulting in heads-up action to the turn 
. Both players checked.
The river came 
and Monroe put out a bet of 27,000. Pham asked to confirm the number and immediately dropped in a chip to call upon seeing the figure.
Monroe tabled 
for a pair of aces with a nine kicker and Pham turned over 
, with his top pair and a jack kicker proving best to take down the pot.
