Ken Silverstein opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 37,000. Ont the button, Tuan Phan thought for a moment before pushing out a raise to 100,000. Action folded back around to Silverstein four-bet to 260,000. Phan called and the two saw a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Silverstein waited a moment before pushing out a bet of 300,000. Phan sat looking at the board for about thirty seconds before announcing that he was all in. Silverstein snap called and threw up {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} for top set. Phan, however, had outs with his {10-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Fourth street came {3-Diamonds} and Phan was hoping for a spade. The dealer rapped the table. {A-Clubs}. Silverstein managed to make quads and effectively crippled Tuan Phan, resulting in the largest pot of the tournament. Silverstein is now a commanding chip lead with about 2,300,000.

The very next hand Eugene Fouksman raised to 35,000 and Phan moved all in for 60,000 total. Fouksman called with the {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and was ahead of Phan's {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. However, Phan was able to spike the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn and double up.
