Feldman Wamboozles Phua

Level 9 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

There was a shout of "all in, and call" just as play resumed from break at the secondary table. When we got to the table, the board was reading {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and Andrew Feldman was at risk holding {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} against the monster draw of Paul Phua's {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The {5-Clubs} turn card was a good one for Feldman, and the {10-Diamonds} river prompted a big fist pump from the young Full Tilt pro.

John Juanda commented that it was a "great flop" for Phua, as Phua slid his last 7,500 into the next pot. Benyamine called from the small blind, and Andrew Feldman decided to take on the role of executor alone, raising it up to 31,000 from the big blind. Benyamine folded, and Phua flipped over {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, which was dominated by Feldman's {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board made Feldman a straight, and eliminated the high stakes gambler from this $250k event.

Feldman is now on about 440,000.
