Young Phan Felting Players Left and Right

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught the last hand of what has been an incredible rush of cards for Young Phan. After three-betting to 5,000 from late position, Phan picked up a caller in Jessica Bruens, who was under-the-gun.

The dealer laid down a flop of {3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and with nearly 20,000 already in the pot, Bruens checked it to Phan, who tapped the table as well.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and this time Bruens decided to push her entire stack into the pot. Phan snap-called and Bruens said, "You probably got me," while tabling the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Indeed, Phan did have her. He flipped up his {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}.

River: {Q-Clubs}

Phan eliminated Bruens from the tournament and added another tower of chips to his growing stack. As his table dispersed for a 20-minute break, Phan's fellow players remarked on his amazing run of cards. Apparently, the former WSOP Circuit winner and tournament veteran picked up pocket aces three times in the last few orbits, as well as winning with ace-king.

The Vietnamese pro stood up from the table for his break while reminding his fellow players who he was, saying, "You know me, this Young Phan."
