All in preflop, Young Phan had A-Q to his opponent's A-K. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and Phan busted out.

Young Phan returned a few minutes after busting, looking for his sunglasses. At the same time, a player moving into his seat arrived. Phan found the glasses around his own neck and laughed. While walking away, the replacement player took his seat. "That's a hot seat, man!" said Phan.
