Why Not Ask for World Peace?

After a {9-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs} flop John Phan found himself all in with the {7-Spades} {8-Spades} against two players who each had a king. "Five of spades," Phan said before the dealer revealed the turn card. "Five of spades."

And on the turn, the {5-Spades}.

No word if Phan's powers of wish-fulfillment extend beyond the poker table, but he tripled up and now has a whopping 800 in chips.
