With the board already showing 8♦ 4♥ 2♦ 5♥, Jojo Tech fired 250,000 to the middle that sent Huy Pham to the tank.
Pham looked at tournament director Lloyd Fontillas and told him he’s all-in. Just as the TD announced the shove, there was a call from Tech and we have the biggest showdown in the main event.
Tech: 8♣ 8♠
Pham: J♦ 3♦
While trailing Tech’s set, Pham had a lot of outs on this one needing an ace, six or a any diamond.
No ace or six but the 9♦ came on the river! Tech is eliminated from the main event and we are on to our heads-up round between Pham and Tetsuya Tsuchikawa.
Pham has around 4.5M and Tet has just over a million.
