Phan is Here to Gamble

We found Young Phan raising preflop in the cutoff. He was able to convince two others to come with him for a flop.

After seeing {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} roll off the deck, it was Phan again who fired. He was quickly raised by the button, and after a few back and forth bets, Phan stated "I'm here to gamble," and both players got all in.

Phan held {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for an open ended straight and royal flush draw and his opponent held {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a set of sevens.

The turn was a pretty big blow to Phan as his opponent boated up with the {K-Spades}. The river {3-Spades} sealed the deal, as Phan missed his two outer.
