Not a Phan-Tastic Start
First up he saw a
flop in the small blind and bet out; he called a raise from a gent in late position and they proceeded.He bet out again on the
turn and this time his opponent just flatted; they both checked the 
river and Phan mucked when the other player turned over 
.A few hands later Phan raised under the gun and got looked up by a gent in late position. Phan then bet in the dark, and his opponent enjoyed the luxury of seeing the
flop before calling. Phan bet in the dark again, and his opponent must have been pleased to see the 
turn; he raised. Phan called, and then waited to see the 
river before checking. His opponent bet and Phan now raised; his opponent was undeterred and three-bet, and Phan called only to muck when his opponent turned over 
for top two pair.
Cooler for Iceman
He raised under the gun with pocket aces -- must be nice. The big blind called him, however, and proceeded to check-call Mr Monroe's bet on the
flop, and indeed check-raise the 
turn. Monroe called, and then snap-called his opponent's bet on the 
river -- only for his opponent to turn over 
for the flopped full house. Ouch.
Walk of Shame Not Improved by TD
There is one gent who could probably do with a massage more than most right now but is not going to get one at the tables -- astoundingly we have already lost one player.
TD Jack Effel on the mic: "If you're trying to be the first player out, you're not going to make it. There's one player out already."
Incidentally the board says that we have 428 runners so far -- of whom 427 are still in.
Von Halle Can Afford to Drop a Few Chips
We caught up with the hand on the turn of the
board, when von Halle bet in position; his opponent check-called.They both checked the
river, and von Halle just mucked when his opponent flipped over .
JC Not Walking On Water So Far
Tran raised under the gun only for the gent to his left to reraise. The button called, Tran called and they saw a
flop. Tran checked and the gentleman who had reraised preflop bet. The button called and now Tran raised; two callers and they arrived at the 
turn. Tran now bet out and both players called, and he bet out again on the 
river. The gent on his left called but the button raised; Tran called, the other gentleman passed, and Tran mucked when Mr Button turned over 
for a rivered two pair.
