Young Phan and Men "The Master" Nguyen both called a preflop raise of 900 from a player in middle position. The flop came {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and the player in middle position made it 1,700 to go. Men got out of the way while Phan raised it to 4,700. His opponent moved all in and Phan insta-called, showing pocket threes for a flopped full house. His opponent showed pocket aces and was eliminated after failing to improve on either the turn nor the river. After the hand, Phan is up to 35,000 and is atop our chip charts.
