Paying the penalty

Team Paradise remains intact as we hit the first break, despite Pham Kim-Phuc having to serve a one round penalty for 'inducing action.'

The Donkr representative shoved all-in midway through Level 22 and as an opponent considered a call, he said: "It's not so much, you can afford it. Actually you can fold."

The villain made the call after some thought and Pham cheered when he saw his KK was dominating QQ. It held up to double his short stack, but his joy wasn't to last long as the floor manager imposed the ban.

It meant losing 24,000 in blinds and around 16,000 in antes, leaving Kim on 280,000 - less than half the 669,000 average - as we go to Level 23.

David Pishvafar has seen less action since moving tables, though he did 4-bet shove for a nice pot holding AK, but finds himself with 410,000 chips with 19 players still in the game.
