Phan Gets There

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board, John Phan fired out 2,800 in position and his opponent called. The turn was the {a-Hearts} and once again, the opponent check-called a bet, this time for 5,000. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Phan fired out 9,000. The opponent, who had less than 20,000 left at this point, rolled in the chips and Phan flipped over {2-Spades}{3-Spades} for a turn-river wheel.

With that pot, Phan has now reached 70,000.
