Phan's Fall

Young Phan just got all his money in with {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} against {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, and the turn card gave his opponent a straight.

When the hand was over, Phan said, "Nice hand man, I knew that turn card was coming down. I just knew that would happen." After that loss, Phan had just over 4,000 left.

Shortly thereafter, he had been worked down under 3,000, but he manged to win a race with {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} against {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. The {10-Clubs} peeled off on the turn, and Phan doubled up to where he stands now, 6,000.
