Conrad and Phan Battle in 12-Minute Hand
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
John Phan opened to 475,000 from the hijack and was called by Brandon Conrad in the cutoff, Ronnie Bardah in the small blind, and Aaron Johnson in the big blind.
On the 10♥7♠3♣ flop, Phan continued for 875,000, Conrad called, Bardah folded, and Johnson called.
The turn brought the 6♥ as it checked to Conrad who bet 2,100,000. Johnson quickly got out of the way but Phan eventually put in the call.
On the 2♣ river, Phan checked to Conrad who jammed for 6,450,000 effective as the slightly covering stack, sending Phan deep into the tank.
Over five minutes would pass before Phan elected to fold, and Conrad let out a sigh of relief after taking down a pot that took 12 minutes from start to finish.
