John Phan shows off his WSOP gold bracelets.
John Phan shows off his WSOP gold bracelets.
John "the Razor" Phan is on Blue #2, right by our media table. He has his WSOP gold braclets on his right wrist and what looks like a cup of pink Vitamin Water (what, no Coronas?) in front of him. On a recent flop of {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {5-Clubs}, Phan checked and his opponent checked behind. When the turn fell {9-Clubs}, Phan bet 900 but his opponent wanted nothing to do with it and folded.

"You're supposed to call!" said Phan, opening {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}. He is up to 26,000 in chips.
