Uchida Brings the Heat

Shun Uchida brought a lot of pressure to bear against Robert Mizrachi in the last hour before Mizrachi was eliminated from the tournament. Now he's doing the same thing to John Phan.

Once again, Phan was the pre-draw aggressor, opening the pot with a raise from the small blind. Uchida called from the big blind and drew three after Phan drew two. Phan bet, and Uchida called.

On the second draw, Phan took one to Uchida's two. Again Phan bet, and for the second time in as many hands, Uchida put Phan to the test with a raise.

Phan, who had put 19 stacks of yellow chips out in a "wall" at his end of the table, pulled the stacks back in front of him one by one, counting his chips along the way. He tanked for over a minute, then folded.

At this point, the chip stacks are fairly evenly spread, but Phan is bringing up the rear in third chip position.
