Phan Doubles One Up

Richard Cleveland, holding {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, got the rest of his chips--4,400 of them--into the pot preflop against John Phan. Phan had him dominated with {K-Clubs} {10-Spades} .

The board caught up with Cleveland, though, when he flopped trips on a board of {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} .

Phan half-jokingly mentioned, "You took a lot of my stack," as he donates to Cleveland's double-up fund. Phan still has 40,000 left.
