Reverse Super Psychology

Shamus

Roland de Wolfe limped in from under the gun, and Young Phan pushed all in with his last 207,000. Steven Bradbury made the call from the small blind, and both the BB and de Wolfe got out of the way.

Phan turned over {A-Hearts}

, and Bradbury {10-Spades}

.

"Ten!" yelled Phan to the dealer as he burned a card and spread out the flop -- {2-Hearts}

. "Ten, ten, ten!" he continued, becoming more animated. The {A-Clubs}

came on the turn, putting Phan in the lead.

He continued to call for the ten when the river came the {4-Spades}

. Phan doubles up to about 450,000, while Bradbury is still our chip leader with 1.55 million.

"That's called Reverse Super Psychology," Phan explained afterwards. "Lot of skill in this friggin' game, eh, boys? Push and pray."

As the dealer dealt the next hand, Phan admonished him. "I ask for a ten and you turn an ace," he cracked.

"It's my first day," the dealer deadpanned.
