Best Chip and a Chair story

[Paul Phillips]

[ QUOTE ]
My friend played in a final table with Can Kim Hua and Paul Phillips. It was down to 5 players. Kim Hua lost a giant pot to leave him with 2 ante chips. He folded the first time, thus leaving himself with just one ante chip, and ended up winning the tournament after doubling up many times in a row.

That was so brutal. As I recall it, when he was all-in for the 1000 ante I had nearly 300K. I ended up getting $30K for 4th while he landed $185K for first. I already had a very healthy respect for Can but after that experience it was redoubled.
