John Phan somehow found the rest of his stack all in against Kevin Boudreau. We’re not sure how the action went down, but there was an awkward period of time before the cards were shown as the dealer asked Phan if he wanted to call, despite all of his chips being over the line. The rest of the table was confused, but the dealer insisted that Phan vocalize his action.
