Misreading the Signs

John Phan raised from the cutoff, Ben Ponzio three-bet from the small blind, and Phan called. Each took one, Ponzio bet, and Phan called. On the second draw, Ponzio took one. "Not there yet?" said Phan. Then he took one as well. Both checked.

On the third draw, Ponzio took one. "Sign of weakness," chided Phan. Phan took one as well. Ponzio checked. Phan feigned a move toward his chips, but Ponzio didn't react. Then Phan threw out a bet. Ponzio instantly check-raised. Phan, not too pleased, made the call.

"Number two," said Ponzio, showing 7-6-5-4-2. Phan mucked, saying he had an 8-6. Ponzio is up to 135,000.
