Phan on the Rise
Ryan Phan is up to 670,000 in level 13, and we were told a story about how he got a portion of that stack in a strange hand from earlier on in the day.
Phan had called a three-bet preflop and his opponent's cards, which were ace-king, became exposed, and he had to play them face-up.
The flop came down , and Phan bet 20,000 which his opponent called with ace-high. Phan then moved all in on the ten turn card and his opponent, who started the hand with 180,000, called again.
Phan showed pocket twos and his opponent was eliminated after the river bricked and Phan picked up the pot.
