Showdown
Pham:
Strydonck:
The flop gave Strydonck a pair of aces, but everyone was focused on Pham's hand.
"Gutterball and a backdoor flush draw!" John Andress exclaimed.
The on the turn was a brick, but the on the river gave Pham the wheel and he doubled to 290,000 chips.
Strydonck wasn't pleased, but he's still healthy with 460,000.
