Devinsky Relieves Phan of Half His Stack

Nothing will catch our attention faster than an 185,000 pot. Tuan Phan was squaring off against Michael Devinsky and all the money went in on the flop. The board was {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} and the hands were tabled.

Phan: {6-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Devinsky: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The turn fell {2-Hearts} and Devinsky's tournament life depended on the river.

The river was Yahtzee! for Devinsky when he spiked a third spade giving him the nut flush. Phan found a straight in the end, but it cost him about of his tournament-leading stack. Devinsky is sitting pretty within shouting distance of 200,000.
