Huy Pham just won two decent sized pot to pump up his arsenal. In one hand he faced off against Azusa Maeda. Pham raised to 26K preflop and Maeda called. At the flop of K♣ 2♠ 2♦, Maeda checked to Pham who bet 19K and was called. At fourth street of 4♥, Maeda again check-called Pham who slid out 50K. Then on the river of A♣, Maeda acted no different, he check-called Pham’s bet of 70K. Pham won the hand with A♠ 10♠ top pair as Maeda mucked.
Several hands after, Pham was on the big blind and he called a raise by the button player Dave Fish to 25K. At the flop of Q♥ 7♦ 7♥, both players checked. At the turn of 6♦, check-check again. Then on the river of 7♠, Pham slid out 35K and was check-called by Wunschel. Pham showed his 7♣ 4♦ for quads. Nice hand!

Yasuyuki jammed it and Pham got out of the way.
