Pot by pot, Tim Phan is rebuilding an empire of poker chips. He very patiently let his board develop (X-X) / while Eric Drache's board came (X-X) / . Drache bet every street until sixth, when both players checked. Down the river it was Phan who fired out a bet that Drache called. Phan turned over in the hole for his second Dead Man's Hand in half an hour, aces and eights. He continues to climb in the counts.
