Phan Doubles Through Saechao

Chiab Saechao raised under the gun to 25,000, and it folded all the way around to John Vohs in the small blind. He tanked for about a minute before giving up his hand, and it was on Steven Phan in the big blind. He looked down at his cards, thought for about 15 seconds, and then announced all in. Saechao SNAP called, and the players flipped their cards to reveal a classic race.

Phan: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Saechao: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop kept Phan safe, coming {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Saechao needed a ton of help. The {j-Hearts} on the turn gave Phan a set, but Saechao could still catch a ten to make a winning straight. He wouldn't get it though, as the river brought the {4-Clubs}. Phan secured the double, upping his stack to 190,000, while Saechao drops to one of the short stacks at 125,000.
