Phan Cuts Down Keys

John Phan opened with a raise to 27,000 from under the gun, and the table folded back around to James Keys in the small blind. Keys checked his cards, then declared he was all in for his last 210,000 or so. Balint Barta folded in the big blind, and Phan thought for a couple of minutes before making the call.

Keys: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Phan: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}, pairing both players, though Phan had Keys outkicked. The turn was the {Q-Hearts}, improving Phan to two pair while giving Keys a flush draw. The river then brought the {A-Clubs}, and Keys is out.
