'The Razor' Doubles

On the last hand before the break, John Phan made it 4,000 in middle position and was raised to 9,000 by a player in the cutoff. Both players checked a flop of {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, but when the {q-Spades} fell on the turn, Phan bet 8,000 and his opponent moved all in for 17,325. Phan called and showed {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. His opponent had the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and was eliminated.

Phan is up to 52,800.
