Phillips Crippled

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With about 10,500 in the pot and a board reading {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Carter Phillips bet 4,200 from under the gun and was called by his opponent in Seat 4. When the river came the {K-Spades}, Phillips bet 7,300 only to have Seat 4 raise to 15,000.

Phillips was clearly upset with the situation and tanked a long five minute before reluctantly making the call, leaving himself only 8,200 behind. Seat 4 didn't show his cards right away, giving the impression that he was beat, so Carter flipped his {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} assuming he was good. Seat 4 then revealed {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a rivered straight. The slowroll clearly did not sit well with Carter and he was visibly upset.
