Phung Catches Runner-Runner on Browne

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Helmut Phung raised to 850,000 with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} from the cutoff and Paul Browne defended with {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Brown hit trips on the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} and both players checked. Phung picked up a straight draw on the {8-Diamonds} as Browne led out for 1,400,000. Phung used two time bank cards before calling.

The {10-Clubs} on the river completed his straight and Phung bet 2,500,000 after Browne checked. Browne threw in his last time bank card before he called, only to be shown that Phung had hit running cards to crack his flopped trips.
