"The Razor" Buying Drinks

John Phan has recently eliminated two opponents and now sits with over 38,000 in chips to be among our tournament chip leaders.

In the first hand Phan raised it up with pocket jacks, which held against an opponent who pushed with {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to send his opponent to the rail.

Soon after, Phan was at it again, this time with pocket nines against his opponent's pocket sevens. Again the board was good to Phan, as it came {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

"Ship it! Ship it!" came the cry from Phan in delight. "Who wants drinks?"
