666 Crushes Phan

[user123189]

John Centero had raised in early position and was re-raised by John Phan to 2,575. Centero four-bet to 6,200 with 15,000 behind and Phan responded by going all in for 30,000.

At this time the dealer started to run out the flop and had to be stopped by the other players at the table. Eventually Centero did make the call.

Centero: {7-Spades} {6-Hearts}
Phan: {a-Diamonds} {k-Spades}

The flop was crushing for Phan when it came {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} giving Centero trips. When the turn came {8-Diamonds} Phan was left drawing dead. The dealer threw out the {k-Hearts} for good measure, but it was no use to Phan who is down to 16,700.
