Russell Boyd (button) and Don Phan (small blind) were both all in with similar stacks and heads-up.
Don Phan:
Russell Boyd:
The board ran out — no danger for Phan as he doubled the 14,750 he had in front of him which left Boyd with only 500.
Shortly after, Boyd busted. So did Mickey Craft on one of the other tables.
