John Phan opened for 2,400 from middle position, the small blind moved all in for 8,300 total and Phan made the call. Phan's {8-?} {8-?} was in great shape against the small blind's {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}, but the {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {6-Spades} {7-Spades} board made his opponent a straight, denting Phan's stack further.

Once up to nearly 50,000, Phan is down to about 24,000.
