Cong Pham Eliminated in 12th Place ($535,000)
Niveau 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Cong Pham open-jammed a stack of 2,400,000 in the cutoff and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called in the big blind.
Cong Pham: 8♥7♥
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A♣2♥
Pham needed to hit an eight or a seven and didn't get much help from the 9♥4♠2♠ flop. The 5♦ turn gave him additional outs with a gunshot but the 4♦ bricked off on the river to mark his elimination in 12th place for $535,000 as Jachtmann received a small boost after taking a big hit the previous hand.
The deep run gives the Florida native his biggest career cash, besting his third-place finish in the 2013 Borgata Poker Open that brought him $301,225.
