Nick Phoenix Knocks Out Babette Chao

Nov 29, 2023

On a completed board of Club 6Heart 3Diamond 2Club 10Club A, there is over 100,000 in the middle when Babette Chao moved all in for 47,800. 

Her heads-up opponent, Nick Phoenix is now in the tank for several minutes as he contemplates this decision. 

“Did you really call me all the way down with ace-king,” he asks her, but no response from Chao. 

He eventually calls the clock on himself and is given a countdown, at which point he slams the chips down to call. 

Chao then tables Spade QDiamond Q for a pair of queens but Phoenix has her beat with Diamond AHeart 9 for a rivered ace and he is awarded the big pot while she exits. 

Nick Phoenix – 250,000 (83 bb)
Babette Chao – Eliminated
