Hong Pham
Yu Wu Chun was seated in early position and was up against Hong Pham on the button.
A huge pot of around 60,000 was in the middle beside a board that showed T 2 A 8
Chun checked his option to Pham, who risked all her 38,000 plus chips in the middle.
Chun tanked, did a quick chip assessment, decide he could risk some and then made the call.
Hong Pham 8 8
Yu Wun Chun: K J
Pham was ahead with a set of eights, but Chun had outs with a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.
The poker gods wanted excitement and threw in a 7 on the river to give Chun the flush, ending Pham's Main Event dream.
Peter Kiem
Pham was on her way out when Peter Kiem, seated beside her, reminded her of the jacket. Apparently, Pham was feeling cold and Kiem was gentleman enough to lend the jacket. Pham returned the jacket and went on her way.
Someone remarked, "You should've given it as a consolation."
Kiem joked, "Well, she almost ran away with it."
