The heads-up flop reads Spade JHeart JSpade 6 when the first player checks to David ‘The Dragon’ Pham who bets 28,000 into the pot of 82,000. 

After some thought, his opponent makes the call and they go to the turn Diamond 9. The first player checks, Pham bets 50,000, and his opponent calls. 

The river is the Club K and the opposing player checks again, Pham bets once more for 35,000. After around 30 seconds, it looks as if his opponent is going to make the call as he picks up chips, but then thinks better of it and slides in his cards. 

“Show the bluff!” One of the other players jokes, but Pham does not reveal his secrets as the pot is pushed his way. 

David Pham – 390,000 (98 bb)
