John Phan Makes a Nice Call

Cornel Andrew Cimpan raises the pot from late position and John Phan reraises from the big blind.  Cimpan makes the call and the two players see a flop of [Ks4s4c].  Phan leads out for 5,100 and Cimpan raises to 15,100.  Pham calls.

The turn brings the [6h] and both players check.

The river is the [2d] and Phan checks again.  Cimpan bets 21,000 and Phan goes into the tank.  For several mintues he thinks as he counts down his remaining chips.  Finally, he makes the call.

Cimpan:  [9c8c]
Phan:  [QcQh]

Phan takes down the pot with two pair, queens and fours, after calling Cimpan’s river bluff.

John Phan – 108,000
Cornel Andrew Cimpan – 87,000
