Phan's Lead Short-Lived
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
In back-to-back hands, Phan and Uchida got three bets in before the first draw. Both times, Uchida drew one, then went pat, pat. Both times, Phan drew one on his draw.
In the first hand, Uchida checked the final round of betting to Phan. "Sign of weakness?" asked Phan. "I mean, c'mon." He thought it over for a minute, took a sip of beer, then bet. Uchida deliberated about 15 seconds before raising. That put Phan in the tank a second time for a minute before mucking.
He knocked the table and said he folded 8-7-5-4-3.
On the second hand, Phan checked the last round of betting to Uchida who bet. Phan must have missed his draw, as he smiled with that look that lowball players know so well -- the look of "how did I miss this draw three times in a row!" -- before folding.
A few hands after that, the two were involved in a limped pot. Each drew three cards. Phan bet, and Uchida called. Each drew two on the second draw. Again Phan bet. This time Uchida raised, and Phan called.
On the final draw Phan took one, while Uchida was pat. Phan elected to fire a bet, and again Uchida raised. Phan sat back in his chair, thought it over, then called. Uchida showed 7-6-5-3-2 to take down the pot.
