Phelps Chipping Up Nicely

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Michael Phelps sat down late in this event, but he has quickly doubled his stack and then some. We just caught Phelps taking down a small pot to up his stack to over 8,000.

We caught up with the action on the flop, which read {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Phelps's lone opponent bet out 500, and Phelps tossed out a chip for the call. Both players checked when the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn, and the same occurred when the river came the {4-Spades}. Phelps announced "one pair" and tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}. His opponent mucked, and Phelps took down the small pot.
