The Dragon Takes a Bite Out of Richey

Brett Richey made a button raise to 16,000 and David "The Dragon" Pham made the call. Pham led out for 8,500 on the {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop and Richey called. Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} on the turn, but Pham fired 10,600 on the river when the {7-Clubs} fell. Richey made the call, but mucked at the sight of Pham's {K-Spades} {10-Spades}.

Richey was left with 46,200 after the hand while Pham was up to 235,000.
