Shooting Star John Phan Eliminated by Gary Tighe ($5,000)

Mar 17, 2009

John Phan is all in preflop for 3,075, Chris McCormack moves all in over the top, and Gary Tighe calls, covering them both. 

Gary Tighe:  [Ah2s]
Chris McCormack:  [KdKh]
John Phan:  [AsJc]

The board comes [5h4c3hQcJs], and Tighe flops a wheel to bust both McCormack and Phan on the same hand. John Phan is a Shooting Star, so Tighe collects the $5,000 bounty and an autographed t-shirt. 

Tighe tells us he is the great nephew of George Herman Ruth Jr. — better known as the greatest baseball player who ever lived, Babe Ruth.
