Photo Shoot?

From out of nowhere, four striking women, who were dressed very elegantly, approached Young Phan at his table. They all four stood behind him and a Harrah's floor staff allowed a photographer to approach the table and snap a few pictures of Phan surrounded by these women.

After a few pictures at the table, Phan left and walked to the corner where they snagged a few more pictures. The girls posed with their arms around Phan, hugging him and mugging for the camera. It appeared as if a live photo shoot was taking place right inside the Rio.

"I think they're from Sapphires," one spectator mentioned.

They weren't. Young Phan has helped the magazine Rounder get distributed at casinos around the strip, like Bellagio and others. Phan explained to us that they were just taking some pictures for an upcoming issue and that they've actually taken his picture at several tournaments over the last few months.

Either way, we're pretty confident that not one player at his table minded. Not in the slightest.
