HomeNot happy with his loss to Peter Nguyen, Tien Pham entered another big pot with Nguyen that began with a raise by Nguyen in late position and called by both blinds, Pham and Michael Mariakis. At the flop of 4♣ 10♦ Q♣, everyone checked. At the turn of J♥, Pham led with a 6000 bet, got called by Mariakis, but raised to 18000 by Pham. Pham, like previous encounter, smooth-called, while Mariakis folded. On the river of 5♣, both players opted to check and Pham won with his K♠ J♦ pair against Nguyen’s 6♠ 8♣ that missed.
