Early Maneuvering

In the second hand of play, the table folded around to James Mackey in the small blind who pushed all in. Young Phan, short-stacked at about 200,000 in the big blind, folded face up. "Five-high," he said.

On the next hand, the table again folded to Mackey on the button, and he raised to 40,000. Phan then announced he was all in from the small blind, but Mackey let it go before Phan's chips could be counted.

Mackey has about 275,000, and Phan 250,000.
