Saul Slays the Dragon

David Pham
David Pham
David "The Dragon" Pham raised to 1,200 from UTG, Kevin Saul reraised to 3,500 from early position, and Pham called. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Pham led out for 5,000 and Saul called. The turn was the {7-Clubs}. Pham checked, and Saul bet the size of the pot (17,000) sending Pham into the tank. Pham had less than the size of the bet behind, so his tournament life would be on the line if he made the call. After much thought, he shoved his chips in.

Saul turned up {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} while Pham showed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The river was the {8-Spades} and Saul took it down with queens and sevens, eliminating Pham from Event #1. Saul's stack now sits at 48,000.
