The Uber-Cooler!

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Tai Phan is down to just a handful of chips after running into what can only be described as the uber-cooler.

"Holy macaroni and cheeseburgers!" Phan shouted, making us jump out of our chair at media row. We rushed over and saw that Phan had moved all-in preflop with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, but was snapped off by Jon Zigler who tabled {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}!

"What did I do wrong?" Phan asked.

"Nothing, man, you did everything right," said another player, "There's nothing you can do there."

The board was an uneventful {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, but fortunately Phan was able to double up a short time later when his {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} held up against another player who called out of the blinds with {J-Clubs}{2-Spades}.
