Tough Spot for Phan

Seat 3 raised to 600 from early position and the player in the hijack reraised to 1,375. John "The Razor" Phan, who was on the button, then made it 3,300 to go. Action folded back to Seat 3 who eyed up his opponent's stacks and then moved all in for 34,500 more.

The hijack folded and action was back on Phan. He uttered, "Another sick hand," before going into the tank. Phan only had 26,800 and a call would mean his tournament was at stake. The cameras soon surrounded the table as Phan was faced with a big decision. Eventually, he mucked the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} face-up and Seat 3 was kind enough to show {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.
