It's Always Funner...

On a flop of {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs}, we picked up the action as Van Pham checked over to Stephen Duncan. Duncan had about 10,000 chips left in his stack, and he fired 1,400 of them into the pot. After a slight delay, Pham announced an all in, and Duncan called quickly to put his own tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Duncan: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}
Pham: {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} (oops!)

Well, it was a momentary oops anyways. The turn {J-Hearts} gave Duncan a big sweat as he would need to fade the eight-out straight draw to stay alive. But he could not. The {8-Spades} peeled off on fifth street, and Pham goes runner-runner to earn the knockout and a chip boost up to about 48,000.

Table mate Aaron Benton was in disbelief. "Runner-runner!" he half-yelled. "You must have either satellited into this event for $100 or be a millionaire!" Pham confirmed he had indeed satellited in online.
