After an exchange of preflop raises Young Phan and the player in the small blind saw a {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

flop. The other player led out and Phan moved in for the last of his chips. His opponent called and showed {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

to Phan's

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

.

{3-Spades}

. "That's a bad card for you," Chau Giang said helpfully and on the river the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

fell and that brought an end to Phan's tournament. "Good luck everyone, don't play {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on this table," Phan said, referencing the fact that Marco Johnson was eliminated just a few minutes before holding the same hand.
