In a hand between Shun Uchida and Luong, Uchida discarded two cards. Luong discarded three cards. The dealer knocked the felt, burned a card, and as she was dropping two cards down to the felt, Luong said, "Wait wait wait," and tried to change one of his cards. Phan was immediately out of his seat.
"He can't do that! He can't do that! He's trying to change his card. He knows he can't do that!" The dealer immediately called for a floor, but in the interim Luong changed his third discard at least two more times.
Phan was irate, shouting over the dealer as the dealer tried to tell the floor what had happened. He got so incensed that he leaned across the table and grabbed the card that he believed Luong had initially discarded. That brought Luong to his feet, shouting back at Phan with his top lip quivering in anger.
Ultimately, the floor ruled that the card which Phan believed was the initial discard must be discarded. Whether or not that was the card which Luong initially discarded is unclear.
"He uses every angle there is," Phan complained. "I don't know why he does that. He knows better."
"I don't want to talk with you. You play your hand!" snapped Luong.
"Take the angle," Phan replied. "Gamble up."
On the very next hand, Phan raised from the button. Luong three-bet him from the big blind. Phan angrily made the call, flinging his chips into the pot so hard that one flew off the table. Luong stood pat through all three draws. betting all the way until the last round of betting, where he checked. Phan took three on the first draw, then stood pat the rest of the way as well.
Luong may have called his hand. What he said was unintelligible to us. Phan didn't muck right away, waiting for Luong to open his hand, which he ultimately did to reveal 6-6-7-4-2 -- a pair.
"He called the wrong hand!" shouted Phan. "Snowing! It's raining in here." Phan opened 9-7-6-3-2 to take the pot.
These two players are under each other's skin. More to come, no doubt.
