Here's Looking at You, Kido

There was a raise to 800 from a gentleman in mid position, which both Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (cutoff) and Kido Pham (button) called. The player in the small blind called too and all four saw an {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop.

It checked around to Pham who bet 3,125. The small blind called, the original raiser and ElkY both got out of the way, and it was turn time.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the small blind check-called 6,050 from Pham. He checked again on the {a-Clubs} river and this time Pham bet 15,275. The small blind tanked up for a long, long time, and eventually he made the call - only to be faced with Pham's {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a full house. He mucked.

Pham increased his stack to 56,300.
