The Story So Far
Twice in the last ten minutes, we've seen Mizrachi fold when faced with pressure from Shun Uchida. Uchida check-raised Mizrachi after the first draw on one hand, causing Mizrachi to fold after the next draw, and on the second hand Uchida reraised Mizrachi from the small blind before the first draw, causing Mizrachi to fold after the draw.
Meanwhile, John Phan continues to amass an empire of chips. When he's not crushing the table with his pure aggression, he's drawing extremely well. Gioi Luong tried to take Phan down in a hand just a few minutes ago, calling Phan's raise from the big blind. Both players drew two on the first pass. On the second pass, Luong drew two again while Phan was pat. Luong check-called Phan's bet, then check-called again after drawing one card on the third draw.
What did Phan have? Just a seven-six.
Right now Phan is the sole dominant force on the table. Uchida and Mizrachi are trying to hang on, but each player has about eight big bets left in his stack. Luong seems content to pick his spots for now.
