2008 WSOP Event 29 Winner John Phan

There are two incredibly annoying letters in the English language. "I" and "F" are perfectly pleasant and agreeable on their own, but when you add the consonant to the vowel, these two letters can make the difference between somebody having a hall of fame career, and a player just becoming a historical footnote in their respective sport. Until just recently this was the legacy of poker player John Phan: a great player who just couldn't win the big one. That changed today.
