Uchida drew two, and Phan three. Uchida bet, Phan raised, and Uchida reraised all in for just 2,000 more. Phan called.
On the second draw, Uchida took one. When Phan indicated he was standing pat, his cheering section erupted.
Before the third draw, Phan boisterously pushed his huge mountain of chips in the middle. Even though the betting was over, he was raucously exclaiming he was all in.
Uchida took one more. Phan again stood pat.
Uchida showed 8-7-6-5-3. But Phan had drawn a "number two" -- 7-6-4-3-2. Phan claimed his second bracelet in less than a week!
"Get it all in, Shun," said Phan.
"I haven't looked yet."
"You don't need to look. Let's play no-look poker."
Uchida decided to look anyway, then reraised all in after John Phan raised. Phan called. The draws went: two, two, one for Uchida, and three, two, two for Phan. Before Phan made his last draw, Uchida said, "Take two please." Phan complied, saying, "I like it when I'm behind."
Uchida: 9-6-3-2
Phan: 3-4-5
Uchida squeezed first, drawing a seven for a final hand of 9-7-6-3-2. Then it was Phan's turn. Ever so slowly, he squeezed his first card: a seven. That gave him 3-4-5-7. Any deuce, eight or nine would win the tournament. He squeezed his second card so slowly that even Shun Uchida got out of his seat to squeeze it with Phan. No luck for Phan right now, however, as he squeezed a ten to make 10-7-5-4-3.
Uchida doubles up to 140,000 and remains alive. For now.
Phan drew two cards, and Uchida took one. Phan checked, Uchida bet, and Phan grabbed enough chips to raise, but just called.
Both took one card on the second draw. Phan bet quickly, and Uchida slowly called.
Phan stood pat on the third round, and Uchida took one. Phan bet out, and Uchida flashed his hand to the Tournament Director. "Should I call?" he asked with a smile. "One person to a hand," the TD light-heartedly announced.
Uchida folded. He'd made a six-high straight. He's now down to just 70,000.

The two players did recently go to a showdown. In a raised pot, both drew two on the first draw and then checked. Both drew two on the second draw and checked again. On the third draw, Phan drew two and Uchida drew one. Phan checked to Uchida, who bet. Phan called. As soon as Phan said call, Uchida threw his hand into the muck.
Uchida is now dangerously close to elimination, with under 200,000 chips remaining.
Shun Uchida limped from the button, Phan raised, and Uchida called. Phan took two, and Uchida three cards. Phan bet and Uchida called.
On the second draw, Phan took one card and Uchida two. Again, Phan bet, and Uchida called.
Phat stood pat on the end, and Uchida drew one last card. Both checked. Phan turned over 10-8-6-4-2, and Uchida mucked.
Phan is up to 890,000, and Uchida down to 310,000.
Phan has a 690,000-510,000 edge on Shun Uchida at the moment.
Both took one on the second draw. Uchida checked, Phan bet, and Uchida called.
Uchida took one on the last draw, and Phan stood pat. Uchida checked, Phan bet, and Uchida called.
Uchida turned over 8-7-6-5-2. Phan looked at his cards for several seconds, then mucked.
Phan 650,000, Uchida 550,000.
