With the board showing Heart JClub JClub 10Spade 9 on the turn and about 75K already in the pot, the player in the small blind bet 45,000, and Nam Phan calls from the button.

The river card is the Club 2, and the small blind moves all in for 205,000. Phan has 221,000 left in his stack, and he thinks for a while before he calls.

The small blind shows Diamond KSpade J for trip jacks, but Phan turns over Club AClub Q to win the pot with an ace-high club flush to eliminate the small blind from the tournament.

Nam Phan  –  590,000  (118 bb)
