Phillips Loses Back-to-Back Flips vs Mandikos

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In back-to-back hands, Event #2 winner Tyler Phillips and Event #6 winner Nicholas Mandikos battled it out for all of the chips. In the first hand, Mandikos held pocket nines and held against Phillips' ace-king in order to score a double up.

The cards were back in the air and the two players got all of their chips in the middle again. Mandikos showed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} again and was flipping with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Phillips.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} to give Mandikos quad nines and a stranglehold in the hand. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn meant Phillips was drawing dead to the {3-Spades} on the river. In a matter of two hands, Phillips lost all of his chips and was eliminated from the tournament.
