Phan Doubles through Neckar

Johnny Neckar opened the action with a raise from under the gun to 55,000. The action folded around to John Phan on the button who took a long time with his decision before declaring that he was all in.

The blinds folded and Neckar went into the tank. It was an additional 262,000 to call, and Neckar slowly cut down the chips and slid them into the middle.

Neckar: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Phan: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

It was a classic race that was all but over when the flop came {10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Phan jumped out of his chair and clapped his hands in delight at flopping the stone cold nuts. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and river {3-Hearts}, and Phan doubled up to over 600,000, much to the disappointment of Neckar, who is left with with about 400,000.
