Phan Catches a Miracle To Double Through Brady

Kevin Taylor

We didn't get to the table until most of the action had been completed, but here's what we saw. The flop of {j-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {4-Spades} was out on the board, and Steven Phan had put out a bet of 8,000. Amy Brady had a raise of 20,000 in front of her, and when we arrived, Phan was deep in the tank. After about 30 seconds of thought, he slid the rest of his chips in, and Brady snap called. The cards were tabled, and Phan was in a world of hurt.

Phan: {k-Spades} {j-Clubs}
Brady: {a-Clubs} {j-Spades}

As soon as he saw the cards, Phan yelled "King!" He didn't get it on the turn, but the {5-Diamonds} did help him out alittle, giving him some chop outs. Phan called for king one more time, and this time, he got it, as the {k-Diamonds} hit on the river. Phan celebrated, while Brady just shook her head, saying "I've never tried so hard to get someone to put their chips in the middle." Brady is still plenty healthy with 180,000, while Phan is now up to 85,000.
