"The Razor" Eliminated

John "The Razor" Phan
John "The Razor" Phan
Facing a 550 pre-flop raise from an opponent on the button, a short-stacked John Phan moved all in for his last 3,000 in chips. His opponent made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Phan revealed a pocket pair of nines and was looking good to double up, but the board filled out K-K-J-J-6, counterfeiting Phan's pair and effectively ousting him from the tournament.
