Phan Keeps Pushing

[user75032]

John Phan hasn't relented. He keeps winning small pots off of Shun Uchida, who doesn't seem to want to get involved without a premium starting hand. At these blinds and limits, however, Uchida doesn't have much choice. Phan is nickel and diming him to death.

The two players did recently go to a showdown. In a raised pot, both drew two on the first draw and then checked. Both drew two on the second draw and checked again. On the third draw, Phan drew two and Uchida drew one. Phan checked to Uchida, who bet. Phan called. As soon as Phan said call, Uchida threw his hand into the muck.

Uchida is now dangerously close to elimination, with under 200,000 chips remaining.
