Phan Takes Down a Large Pot
With about 1,500 in the pot and a board reading 
, the player in the small blind led out for a bet of 1,200 and John "The Razor" Phan raised to 3,200 from the cutoff. The small blind would not be deterred and reraised to 7,200. Phan thought about it for about a minute and then made the call.
The 
fell on the turn and the small blind bet 8,000, which Phan called. When the 
appeared on the turn, the small blind looked as if he was going to bet but instead decided to check. Phan asked for a count on his opponent's stack before checking himself.
"I think you got it," said the small blind. "I have king high." Phan waited to see his opponent's 
before turning over his 
for a pair of nines. Phan took down the large pot and increased his stack to around 54,000.
