With the board showing {2-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and about 18,000 in the middle, Young Phan bet 4,500, then Dominic Souza raised to 11,000. Phan moved all in, and Souza called with the last of his chips.

Phan showed {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the spade flush draw, while Souza showed {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for trip tens. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Souza was still best. Then the dealer burned one and turned over the river card -- the {6-Spades} -- and Souza had been eliminated.

"Yes," said Phan. "We're gambling!"

"Did you do the deed?" asked Mike Beasley of Phan from a neighboring table. Phan nodded. "You are a bad bad man!" said Beasley with a grin.

Actually Phan isn't as bad as Beasley suggested -- one other player was eliminated just prior to Souza, meaning Souza was in fact the first to make the cash, finishing in 324th.

Phan has 51,000 chips as the payouts begin.
