In one of the first hands after he late registered the tournament, Donnie Phan got involved in a big hand against MSPT Hall of Famer Rich Alsup.

It happened after the under-the-gun playe opened and the Rich Alsup, who was on the button, three-bet. Phan looked down at the {k-Clubs}{k-} in the small blind and promptly four-bet. The UTG player folded, Alsup called, and the flop came down {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Phan checked, Alsup bet 4,000, and Phan check-raised all in for 15,000. Alsup snap-called and Phan discovered the bad news.

Donnie Phan: {k-Clubs}{k-}
Rich Alsup: {7-}{7-}

The case {7-} on the turn left Phan drawing dead, and to rub salt in the wound a {k-} appeared on the river to give him a losing kings full.

Phan headed to the cashier to re-enter the tournament.
