Pflock Spikes the River to Survive
Nivel 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Hong Pham opened to 425,000 from under the gun and Pascal Pflock called on the button.
They saw a flop of 5♠7♦K♦ where Pham checked, Pflock bet 300,000, and Pham called.
A 10♦ dropped on the turn which Pham checked again, and Pflock fired 600,000. Pham shoved, and Pflock called off his remaining 1,200,000 he had behind.
Pascal Pflock: A♥A♦ 
Hong Pham: K♠K♣
A sick cooler but Pflock still had outs to an ace or a diamond. Pham's stack was on the verge of being near ten million but an A♣ on the river gave Pflcok a bigger set, which kept him alive.
