Phan Razor Sharp Today

We caught John "The Razor" Phan in a heads up pot on the turn, with the board reading {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Phan fired out 10,000 from the big blind, and Steve Garfinkle raised it up to 24,000. Phan thought for about 20 seconds before clicking back with a min raise to 38,000, and Garfinkle went into the tank. After about 90 seconds of thought, he kicked his cards in, giving the pot to Phan.

Phan broke the 200k mark with that hand, jumping up to 203,000.
