John Phan Wants His Table to Drink Up

[user75032]

John Phan is well-known for consuming beer at the poker table. During the final table of the 2008 World Series of Poker Triple Draw Event, John ordered a dozen beers and handed many of them out to other players and railbirds. After knocking a short stack out to increase his count to 140,000, Phan did the same thing today; he has already offered beers to Mike Sexton and Jimmy Fricke.

The very next hand, Phan opened preflop by splashing 3,000 chips into the middle. The big blind called him to a flop of {A-Hearts}

and then checked. Phan bet 3,000 and was surprised to see his opponent check-raise all in for 30,000! That's when the table talk started.

"I might bust you, you know that?" Phan asked.

"You've been known to do that," his opponent replied.

Phan then gave the player a beer, telling him, "I've got more coming." He declared a fold, but cajoled his opponent into showing {A-Diamonds}
