Phan's Roller Coaster

Tim Phan checked-called a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} after J.J. Liu led out for 350. The turn brought the {8-Clubs}, both players checked, and Phan led out for 700 when the {9-Diamonds} fell on the river. Liu made the call and Phan showed {Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Liu was down to just 1,300 after the hand.

On the hand immediately after, Phan shoved all in against a preflop raiser who made it 575 to go. The player called and showed A-Q versus Phan's A-J. Phan's opponent flopped a Q and short-stacked Phan down to only 1,230.
