Phan Loses the Chip Lead

John Phan has hit a rough stretch here towards the end of Level 20. He can't seem to win a hand. His latest loss came at the hand of Shun Uchida. Phan was pat after the second draw, and bet after Uchida took one. Uchida called. Phan stood pat again on the third draw. Uchida was also pat. Phan bet, and Uchida raised.

Phan went deep into the tank, for well over a minute. He finally laid down his hand. A few hands later, he told Uchida that he folded 8-7-5-4-2. Uchida didn't believe it at first, but one of Phan's supporters on the rail confirmed the laydown.

"You had eight-six. You didn't want me to break. I had 8-7-5. That's why I thought so long," Phan explained.
