Not a Phan of Aces

There was a raise to 300 in early position and John Phan made it 1,300 in mid position, leaving himself just a few hundred behind. It folded back around to the original raiser who moved all in for just a few chips more. Phan pretended to fold but didn't, and called with a smile.

Phan: {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}
Mr. All In: {a-Spades} {a-Clubs}

Phan switched his cards around with his opponent's so when the board came down {q-Hearts} {q-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {4-Spades} it looked to the casual observer as though he'd won, but the dealer and all-in player were not so easily fooled and Phan was left wiht just 600 in chips as his opponent doubled up.
