Uchida drew two, and Phan three. Uchida bet, Phan raised, and Uchida reraised all in for just 2,000 more. Phan called.
On the second draw, Uchida took one. When Phan indicated he was standing pat, his cheering section erupted.
Before the third draw, Phan boisterously pushed his huge mountain of chips in the middle. Even though the betting was over, he was raucously exclaiming he was all in.
Uchida took one more. Phan again stood pat.
Uchida showed 8-7-6-5-3. But Phan had drawn a "number two" -- 7-6-4-3-2. Phan claimed his second bracelet in less than a week!
