The likes of David Pham, Hermilo Vargas, and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas dominate the poker news this week after doing some pretty impressive things on the felt.

It’s a short and sweet round-up, this week, because poker news has been – short and sweet.

We will begin in the live poker realm, and the awakening of the Dragon. David Pham has been sleeping beneath the slumbering effects of his three World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, but this week a thrush began cracking a nut outside his door, and he woke with a vengeance.

Pham entered the $1,600 buy-in 2018 Wynn Spring Classic Main Event with 983 other hopefuls and turned them into toast on his way to a $240,254 victory. Nine days later, he was one of 705 entrants to dig his claws into the $1,675 buy-in World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Main Event at the Bicycle Casino in California, and won that one for $216,890, also.
