A Friendly Little Reminder

Francois Safieddine, who won the $2,500 No Limit Hold 'Em event this year, was all-in on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. His opponent made the call and Safieddine showed 7-7 for a set while his opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush draw and straight draw. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river was the {K-Clubs}. Safieddine was scooping up the pot when John Phan, who is seated at an adjacent table, peered over to see what had happened.

"You're always lucky," Phan remarked in regards to the hand without seeing the action. "You always get there on the river."

"I have the bracelet," Safieddine quipped, "you don't. You're number two, I am number one!"

Safieddine and Phan were heads up during the $2,500 event. Phan came in second to Safieddine, who took first and the bracelet.
