Phan Closes the Gap
The first five hands saw one hand taken with a raise before the first draw, one with a bet after the first draw, and three walks.
Then Shun Uchida raised on the button, John Phan three-bet from the small blind, and Uchida called. Phan drew one card, and Uchida took two. Phan checked, Uchida bet, Phan check-raised, and Uchida called.
On the second draw, Phan took one, and Uchida took two cards. Phan bet the 40,000, and Uchida called. On the last draw, Phan stood pat and Uchida again took two cards. Phan bet, and after a bit of thought, Uchida called.
Phan showed 8-6-5-4-2, and Uchida mucked. Just like that Uchida is down to 540,000, and Phan up to 474,000.
