Phan Doubles Through Bosco

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Philip Bosco called JP Phan's all-in shove with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Phan had the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, but he received a very favorable flop when the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} rolled out to give him a flush draw on top of his two live cards.

The {7-Hearts} on the turn gave Phan even more outs to a straight, and then the {6-Spades} came in on the river to complete that straight and double him up.
