Phelps Fades Overs to Double Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Following a late position raise to 2,000, Curtis Phelps went all in for 14,600. After a lengthy decision, his opponent found a call, flipping over A♠9♠ versus Phelps' 8♠8♣.
The flop looked to go Phelps' way as 6♣J♥5♥ led to him being the favorite. The turn of 7♥ added a straight draw for both players, with Phelps being open ended. A J♦ on the river changed nothing and Phelps had faded the possible bust-out and gained 30,400 chips.
