Give and Take

Play is going back and forth right now. In one hand, Phan raised to 75,000 only to have Neckar raise him back for 305,000 more. Phan released after some posturing.

The next two hand saw a pair of "raise and take it" hands. Phan took one and Neckar the other.

We finally got another showdown just a moment ago. Well, we sort of got a showdown. Johnny Neckar raised preflop to 150,000 and Phan made the call. Both the flop and turn were checked. On the river, with a board showing {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, Phan made a bet of 275,000 chips. Neckar apparently said call and started cutting out his chips. Before he could do so, Phan tabled {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for sevens up. Neckar mucked his hand and finished cutting his chips.
