"The rich get richer!"

John Phan is chipping up quick after winning a recent pot against an unknown opponent, and leaving said opponent asking the dealer for his 10k in second chance chips.

On a flop of {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, Phan and his opponent traded raises until eventually agreeing that it was best to get it all in right then and there.

"Do you want this too?" Phan's opponent asked, referring to his yellow second chance chip.

"Yeah, whatever you want," Phan complied, though tournament rules would never allow the yellow chip to enter the pot as well.

When the cards were turned over, Phan revealed straight and flush draws, showing the {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Spades} and his opponent tabled top two pair: {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}.

Phan spiked his flush when the {5-Spades} came on the turn and a blank on the river locked things up for 'The Razor,' who now has -- according to his calculations -- almost 40,000 in chips.
