Interesting Discussions?

Since the break we've noticed that John Phan has moved around to the six-seat after being in the five-seat all day to move closer to Neckar in the eight-seat. The two played a small pot after the break and then appeared to start chatting.

They then shook hands, seemingly in a gesture of good luck.

However the next hand was strange as the two entered into lengthy discussions during the middle of the hand. Neckar had limped and Phan was considering his option in the big blind. Unfortunately the discussions were at a volume that only dogs could hear as we struggled to catch anything that was said. It was a strange few minutes as no one was really sure what was happening as we couldn't hear the players' chat and there was no action in the hand!

After a good five minutes, Phan finally checked his option. The flop came {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Phan check-folded to the bet from Neckar.

Neckar maintains a healthy lead and it will be interesting to see what develops in this contest moving forward.
