Long Line at Restroom Finds Phan Filling Us In
While poker bloggers and poker players generally occupy different spheres during the course of a tournament, the bathroom break allows a chance for everyone to meet on equal ground.
While waiting in line, we found ourselves standing next to Young Phan, who recounted his recent score with pocket aces against pocket tens. Phan remembered us asking for his name earlier in the tournament and reminded this blogger that he had been playing for 21 years and that "we should know who he his by now."
The professional tournament grinder, who has 29 WSOP cashes to his credit, was extremely polite and smiled the whole time as he chided us for forgetting his name, but one thing is sure, if he keeps knocking players out and building his stack at the rate he is going, soon everybody will know exactly who Young Phan is.
