Hand #43 - Kido Pham has the button in seat 2, Tran raises to $18,000, Pham reraises to $50,000, Hachem reraises to $150,000, Tran folds, and Pham thinks for a minute before moving all in. Hachem asks for a count of Pham's remaining chips before saying, "It doesn't matter, I call." Hachem shows pocket kings (Kc-Kd), and Pham shows Js-10c.


While the chips are counted down before the flop, Scotty Nguyen says, "I threw away the other two kings, baby." The crowd explodes into laughter, releasing the tension of this big all-in situation.


Hachem has Pham outchipped, and Pham will need to improve to stay alive here.


The flop comes Jc-Jh-2s, and Pham flops trip jacks to take the lead. The air is let out of the crowd, which seems to have been pro-Hachem, and it gets pretty quiet in the tournament arena.


The turn card is the 6c, and Hachem needs to catch a king on the river to bust Pham. The river card is the Ad, and Kido Pham doubles up in a huge pot to take the lead with about $600,000 in chips.


Hachem is still alive, but he is down to about $40,000 in chips.
