Comin' Outta Queensbridge

Philip Neiman sported a Detroit Lions jersey during the first day of play, unafraid to represent a team that has never won a championship. Yesterday he donned the duds of Dan Marino, with the jersey featuring the autograph of the best quarterback to never win a Super Bowl.

Today, with his shot at a six-figure score and a championship ready to be seized, Neiman switched things up by wearing the colors and logo of the winningest team in all of professional sports: the New York Yankees.

A proud resident of the New York City borough of Queens, where he plays with a local crew of grinders, Neiman just took control of this final table with one of the more astounding calls we've witnessed in a long while. Here's what went down:

After Neiman opened for 550,000 from early position, Matthew Itkin defended his big blind and the two took a flop of heads up.

Itkin check-called a bet of 600,000 from Neiman, and both players tapped the table on the turn.

When the completed the board on the river, Itkin sprang into action with a bet of 700,000, prompting a breif tank by Neiman. As he counted out the calling chips and stared Itkin down, Neiman said aloud "I just think I'm good here," before suddenly flicking in the call.

"Nice hand," said Itkin as he slid his cards to the dealer. "Good call."

"Write that one down!" bellowed Neiman. "Called him with queen-high!"

Sure enough, Neiman rolled over the for no pair, and before he began a boisterous celebration, he explained that he put Itkin on . In a display of class between two gentleman - something poker sorely needs more of - Itkin later congratulated Neiman on the call and confirmed that his read had been spot on.

For his friends back in Queens, this hand might be the sign that they need a new playing partner.. because if Neiman can make that call on this stage, he is like to own the entire borough when he gets back home.
