Neckar Takes Down Another

Both players are starting to limp a little more preflop and happy to play some small ball poker.

In a recent limped pot the two players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Johnny Neckar led out with a 50,000 chip bet and John Phan made the call.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and Neckar checked to Phan who fired 87,000 into the middle. Neckar called.

The river brought a repeat {A-Diamonds} to the "ooohs" of the gallery. Neckar checked and Phan fired another bullet worth 115,000. Neckar thought for a moment and made the call.

Phan tapped the table indicating he was beat but didn't want to reveal his cards. He appeared to muck them until he realized that Neckar wasn't going to show if Phan didn't. Phan flipped his cards over flashing the {8-Clubs} for a busted draw as Neckar showed down {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for aces and sixes to take down the pot.

Neckar is still trailing, but things are tightening up!
