Phelps Runs Smack Dab Into Sartin's Tens

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Joe Phelps in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 34,000. Russell Sartin was in the small blind and made the call, bringing about the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop. What happened next was lightening quick. Sartin checked, Phelps moved all in for around 160,000 and Sartin snap-called.

Showdown

Sartin{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Phelps{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Phelps was in trouble and needed to pair one of his overs, but neither the turn nor river delivered salvation. Phelps graciously shook hands with his opponent and made his exit in 38th place for $3,695.
