Phua Survives Elimination
Level 6
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
"Loopoo" raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and Paul Phua jammed for 353,000 out of the small blind. "Loopoo" made the call to put Phua at risk.
Paul Phua: A♠Q♣ 
"Loopoo": 10♥10♦
Phua found himself in a flop for his tournament life, and he was the one needing to connect with the board.
Phua found a lot of help on the Q♦K♠9♦ flop, as he paired his queen to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 3♥6♥, and Phua earned the much-needed double-up through "Loopoo".
