Farha Slices Up Phan

John Phan - eliminated
John Phan - eliminated
John Phan was rocking the short stack for most of the last level. Sam Farha open-shoved on Phan. Phan and Farha clinked Coors Light bottles before Phan called. Farha turned over a pair of tens, {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}. Phan squeezed out his cards one at a time, producing a {5-Spades} and the {A-Clubs}. That ace gave Phan some life, but he couln't pair it up on a board of {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. As a result he is the second player eliminated from the Round of 16.

Farha will meet the winner of the David Williams - Erick Lindgren match in the quarterfinals tomorrow.
