Phan Had a Feeling

We didn't see what Young Phan had been dealt. His hand had already been killed by the dealer. With the board showing {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {5-?} Phan's shorter-stacked opponent had won the hand by making a Broadway straight, {A-?} {Q-?}. It was the table-talk that got our ear.

"As soon as he told me he had a jack, one hits right away," Young Phan told the table, motioning to Tony Hachem on his left.

"Sorry mate," Hachem replied.

"Why don't you cover me so I can go home?" Phan then asked his opponent with a smile and a laugh. There was some muted discussion of the merits of the hand, with Phan adding, "It's a good call when I win and a bad, stupid call when I lose. Right dealer?"

Phan has 25,000 chips.
