There's been a fair bit of early action here in Macau. Young Phan got in on it during a three-way hand with Tony Dunst and Corwin Cole. On a flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, Cole checked before Phan bet 500. Dunst folded, prompting Cole to check-raise to 1,700. Phan studied the board for a few moments before moving all in for about 6,000 total. Cole snap-called.

"Oh, I like your hand better," said a surprised Phan before the cards were tabled. His {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

was in a virtual flip against Cole's {j-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. The board blanked out {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

to secure the victory for Phan. He now has about 12,500 chips.

Cole is down to 3,400.
