Phan Flexes Muscle

John Phan has taken down the last few pots to build a handy chip lead over Johnny Neckar.

The first pot saw Phan take it down after the flop was checked and he fired out 120,000 on the turn on a board of {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Neckar quickly folded.

The next pot required two barrels, after betting 80,000 on the flop, Phan fired another 185,000 on the turn on a board of {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Neckar folded and Phan took it down.

The third hand actually got to a showdown. Neckar raised preflop to 90,000 on the button and Phan called. They took a flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Neckar fired 110,000 which Phan eventually called. The {4-Spades} on the turn and {A-Diamonds} on the river were checked down by both players as Phan showed {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for just a pair of sixes to take down the pot.

Neckar is now down to 1,500,000 putting Phan on about 2,800,000.
