Phelps Crippled, Tripled, & Eliminated
Joe Phelps was recently knocked down to just 10,000 after losing with 
to an opponent's 
on a 
board. Phelps' opponent had 63,000, and when the chips were counted down, Phelps was left with 10,000.
Not long after, Phelps moved all in for less than 10,000 from under the gun, and a player behind him called. Michael "Carwash" Snyder then moved all in from the small blind for around 90,000. The big blind tank-folded and action was back on the player that called Phelps' all in. He called and all the hands were turned up.

The board ran 
and Phelps stayed alive while Snyder drug the side pot that was bigger than Phelps' triple up.
A short time later, Phelps got it all in with 
only to run into pocket queens. Phelps couldn't catch and the ring winner from the 2008/2009 WSOP Circuit Event - Harrah's New Orleans Event #7 $550 NLHE was eliminated, earning his sixth WSOPC cash in the process.
