Uchida Doubles

Shun Uchida has a little more time. At John Phan's insistence, he got his chips in.

"Get it all in, Shun," said Phan.

"I haven't looked yet."

"You don't need to look. Let's play no-look poker."

Uchida decided to look anyway, then reraised all in after John Phan raised. Phan called. The draws went: two, two, one for Uchida, and three, two, two for Phan. Before Phan made his last draw, Uchida said, "Take two please." Phan complied, saying, "I like it when I'm behind."

Uchida: 9-6-3-2
Phan: 3-4-5

Uchida squeezed first, drawing a seven for a final hand of 9-7-6-3-2. Then it was Phan's turn. Ever so slowly, he squeezed his first card: a seven. That gave him 3-4-5-7. Any deuce, eight or nine would win the tournament. He squeezed his second card so slowly that even Shun Uchida got out of his seat to squeeze it with Phan. No luck for Phan right now, however, as he squeezed a ten to make 10-7-5-4-3.

Uchida doubles up to 140,000 and remains alive. For now.
