Pham Counterfeited
Level 22
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Schwarmann set the price to play at 25,000 from the small blind and Pham tossed in some orange 5,000 chips to make the call. The flop saw Schwarmann check-call a 37,000 bet from "The Dragon," and Schwarmann then check-called a 44,000 bet on the turn. Both players checked the river.
Schwarmann flipped over and Pham mucked.
"The river counterfeited me," claimed Pham.
"You always have a pair!" joked Schwarmann.
"I know why they call you 'The Dragon,'" said Justin Oliver, "It's because you breathe all this bulls**t out all the time!"
Pham took that last comment in the spirit it was intended and all three players burst out laughing.
