BOOM!
The action was picked up on a heads-up turn of 9♠8♣J♣A♥ and Johnbon Phan had check-raised to 25,000 after a bet of 7,000 from Paul Rhoades.
Rhoades then went deep into the tank for several minutes, mulling over his options in agony.
"Alright, I'm all in," he finally announced as he set all of his chips into the middle and Phan quickly made the call to put him at risk.
Paul Rhoades: A♠J♥
Johnbon Phan: Q♠10♣
"Damnit, nice hand," Rhoades told Phan as he realized he was in bad shape with his two-pair versus Phan's nut straight.
But but just as all hope was lost for Rhoades, the miracle A♣ smacked down on the river to give him a full house.
"BOOM!" he shouted and punched the air as all of the chips came his way in the huge pot to boost him to 115,500.
