Phil Gordon

It's been a rough day for the man who started the day second in chip position, Phil Gordon. he's been trending steadily downward for the better part of the first two levels.

Gordon did quite a few chips back in a recent hand with top pair. The flop was three-ways, {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

. Two players checked to Gordon, who bet 8,000. Only one player called. They both checked the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

turn.

When the river fell {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

, Gordon's lone remaining opponent checked again. Gordon made a small blocking bet of 5,400, a bet that was called. Gordon's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, top pair and top kicker, was enough to drag the pot.
