Phan Wins a Flip; Paola Eliminated
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Maurice Paola raised in middle position and Tony Phan three-bet shoved for 56,000, putting himself at risk. Paola made the call.
Tony Phan: A?K? 
Maurice Paola: Q?Q?
The board ran out 3?6?7?A?3?, with Phan pairing his ace to earn the double up.
The next hand, Paola moved all in for his last 17,000 and was called by Eric Medved. Medved's ace-eight bested Paola's seven-five suited and Paola was sent to the rail.
