Phan Cracks Kings to Double

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
John Phan
John Phan

A raise to 11,000 resulted in the three-bet to 51,000 by John Phan on the button and Chris Hunichen in the big blind verified the bet size before squeezing to 151,000. The initial raiser folded and Phan called all in for fewer than 100,000.

John Phan: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Chris Hunichen: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Phan was asking for an ace and his wish was granted on the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {j-Spades} turn opened up some straight outs and Phan asked for the {5-Clubs}. He didn't mind the {6-Clubs} river either and avoided elimination.
