John Phan Takes a Big Hit

John Phan
John Phan
We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} , Ginikachukwu Izuogu checked from the big blind, prompting John Phan to bet 10,000 from the cutoff seat. Izuogu raised to 24,000 and Phan called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both men checked. When the {8-Hearts} hit the river, Izuogu checked again and Phan bet 40,000. Izuogu insta-called and showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} . Phan stood up, looking at the board, then his opponent's hand, and back again, trying to make sense of it all. He eventually mucked his cards and sat down in dissapointed fashion. He is now down to about 85,000 ,while Izuogu surges to roughly 165,000 in chips.
