Phan Makes Right Call On River

The board read {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, with about 75,000 in the middle. John Phan had checked to his opponent, who fired out 45,000. We took a peak at the table because the floor had just come over to administer the clock on Phan, who according to a tablemate after the hand, had been thinking for four and a half minutes. It only took about 20 more seconds for Phan to toss in the call, and his opponent didn't look too thrilled by the call. He flashed {7-}{7-}, and Phan turn over a winning {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

After that boost, Phan is now sitting on 570,000.
