Pham Slides Backwards

On a flop showing {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Hearts}, David Pham led the betting with 4,000 chips. His opponent made the call in position, and the turn card came the {9-Hearts}. Pham fired again, this time betting 10,500. His blond-haired opponent moved all in for 25,500, and Pham tanked for a while before making the call. He showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} for top pair, but his foe tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}, having turned his winning two pair. The river would come the {2-Spades}, a blank for Pham.

After that misstep, The Dragon is down to 16,500.
