Tuan Phan opened the action by moving all in for a bit over 100,000. Christopher Bonn called and the blinds got out of the way. Phan tabled {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

The most dramatic flop possible proceeded to peel off the deck, falling {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, giving Phan two pair and Bonn a flush. The {3-Hearts} came on the turn and Phan was in need of one of the remaining aces or sevens. Unfortunately for Phan, the river was the {10-Hearts} and he was sent home in 8th place.

Bonn Finds Revenge on Phan

Eugene Fouksman raised to 35,000 from under the gun and received a call from Tuan Phan. Christopher Bonn stacked his chips and moved his entire stack to the middle. Fouksman got out of the way while Phan pondered his action.

"You've got a small pocket pair," said Phan "I know you have small pocket pair. We never lose this hand, we never lose. Alright, I call." Phan turned up the {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and was indeed racing with Bonn's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The flop came {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Phan's rail was cheering for a queen. Fourth street brought the {A-Diamonds} and Bonn was one card away from a double up. The {7-Diamonds} rivered and Bonn was able to scoop the pot, leaving Phan crippled once again.
