Tim Phan Becoming a Threat

Tim Phan, a dangerous player with over one million in tournament winnings, could well become a threat in this event, having just doubled his stack up to the 40,000 mark.

It was sweaty palms time in the end, the 8-9-Q flop meaning his K-K had to avoid both an ace and a ten against his opponent's A-J. An eight turn and five river were neither of those, and Phan stays alive.
