Phan Can't Double but Still Alive

Tim Phan was all in before the flop for his last 65,000 holding {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Action came from Dave Williams who made the call with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, and the race was on for Phan's tournament life.

The flop was money for Phan as it came out {6-Spades} {7-Clubs} {9-Hearts} to give him top set and a hammer lock on the pot. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, which was a clever card, and the {8-Hearts} that hit the river left both men playing the board straight. No double for Phan, he's still at 65,000.
