Phan Gets Some Back

Shamus

Down to about 170,000 before the hand, John Phan raised from the button and Shun Uchida called from the big blind. Uchida took two, and Phan three cards on the first draw. Uchida bet, and Phan called.

On the second draw, Uchida took one card and Phan took two. Uchida again bet, and Phan again called.

Both stood pat on the last draw. Uchida bet again. Phan thought a moment, then made the call, saying "Show me your ten."

Indeed, Uchida had 10-7-6-5-4. Phan showed 9-8-7-4-2, and scooped the pot. He's back up over 250,000.
