Phan Gets Talked Out, Makes Correct Laydown

A player opened the action by raising to 6,500. In the small blind, Tuan Phan opted to pop it up to 15,000. His opponent called and the flop came {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} .

Phan reached for a stack of orange T1,000 chips and stacked out a bet of 20,000. His opponent, however, pushed back, making it 47,000 to go. As Phan pondered, his opponent began to talk:

"You're behind right now," Phan's opponent said. "I promise you. And I'll show you. I'm not an angle shooter. I'll show."

"You'll show?" asked Phan curiously. With this bit of information, it seemed, Phan made his decision. Phan mucked {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} faced up.

"Ugh," his opponent groaned. "Why do I talk? Why do I talk?!" His opponent tabled {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a flopped flush. Phan made the correct laydown but still took a hit to his stack.
