Not a Phan-Tastic Start

John Phan must have picked up a couple of pots early doors today, as we've just seen him lose a couple pots in quick succession but he's now sitting on almost exactly his 6,000 starting stack.

First up he saw a {4-Spades}

flop in the small blind and bet out; he called a raise from a gent in late position and they proceeded.

He bet out again on the {K-Clubs}

turn and this time his opponent just flatted; they both checked the {4-Diamonds}

river and Phan mucked when the other player turned over {J-Clubs}

.

A few hands later Phan raised under the gun and got looked up by a gent in late position. Phan then bet in the dark, and his opponent enjoyed the luxury of seeing the {9-Hearts}

flop before calling. Phan bet in the dark again, and his opponent must have been pleased to see the {J-Spades}

turn; he raised. Phan called, and then waited to see the {A-Hearts}

river before checking. His opponent bet and Phan now raised; his opponent was undeterred and three-bet, and Phan called only to muck when his opponent turned over {A-Diamonds}

for top two pair.
