Raskin Gets Pham-boozled

Edward Pham
Edward Pham

Edward Pham raised from under the gun and got one caller in Micah Raskin in the small blind. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Raskin led for 20,000. Pham made it 60,000, Raskin reraised again to 140,000, Pham pushed all in for 292,000 total, and Raskin called right away.

Pham had {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, but had run into trouble versus Raskin who held {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair. But the {6-Clubs} on the turn solved Pham's problems, providing him with the better two pair, and after the {8-Hearts} river he'd survived while taking a big chunk from Raskin's stack.
