HomeTetsuya Tsuchikawa may have lost a big chunk to Huy Pham in a previous hand but he found a sweet opportunity to double up and be back in fighting contention. It began with Pham limping in from the and Tsuchikawa checking.
At the flop of A♠ 9♣ 10♣, both players checked to see a 5♥ turn card. Tsuchikawa bet 110,000 and Pham flat-called. Then on the river of 10♠, Tsuchikawa bet 350,000 and Pham quickly announced all in. Tsuchikawa called and flipped his cards open 10♥ 9♥ for a full house. Pham was surprised as he showed his A♣ K♣. Nice trap by Tsuchikawa!
