Big Phan of Pocket Eights
Level 12
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
We were floating around the Ballroom, when out of the corner of our eyes we saw Chris Reslock move all in for over 60,000 chips. His opponent, Tuan Phan, immediately called.
Board:
Showdown
Reslock:
Phan:
"Pair the board!" Phan yelped.
The dealer paused for a moment, then slammed the down of the felt, giving Phan a full house.
"YES!!!" he shouted.
Reslock shook his opponents hand, bowing out gracefully, and headed for the exit. Phan is now among our chip leaders - he commands over 200,000 chips.
