Play Since Dinner

The first five hands were pretty standard "raise and take it" with Phan winning three hands and Neckar winning two. Then we enter the sixth hand between the two.

Phan limped in and Neckar checked his option. On a flop of {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Hearts} , Phan bet out 45,000 and Neckar made the call. On the turn card of the {4-Spades}, Phan bet out 100,000 chips and Neckar made the call. When the river card of the {5-Clubs} fell, Phan checked and Neckar bet out 400,000. As he typically tends to do, Phan took a very long time to make his decision. Neckar was very patient and let Phan take all the time he needed. About 5 minutes later, Phan finally folds.

Right now, Neckar is on top with around 2,700,000 in chips.
