Phil Collins, a young poker pro with results live and online, is a member of the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event November Nine. On Day 5, he played an interesting hand just before dinner break in which he, "merged." Here's what he told us about the hand.

Personally I had to mute estafandari (sp?), I think he just got too carried away tonight, describing, and basically trying to call every single card (which most of the time he missed) but it became so annoying my husband and I had to actually hit the MUTE button.
