The exit of Pham Kim-Phuc left just one man standing in Team Paradise's bid for a WSOP bracelet, after the river ended his tournament in cruel fashion.The lively high stakes pro had been battling with a short stack all day and was pushed to the brink when his flush draw failed to connect against the pocket 7s of the player to his left.
He looked back in the game when the same villain called his pre-flop shove with JJ, and Kim cheered as he flipped QQ.
The flop and turn came 559-A♠ and looked set to double the German player up, but a river Jack left him feeling the painful side of poker at such a crucial stage.
Pham was visibly shaken by the bad beat but after a hugely impressive three-days, he can be proud of a performance that has seen him paid $23,861.
The payday will also please those in the Donkr poker community who had shares in him courtesy of a ParadisePoker promotion.
16 players remain as we approach the final table and David Pishvafar is the last remaining representative in ParadisePoker colours.
