[user108095]

We caught two hands with Dennis Phillips from the blinds.

In the first, the cutoff raised to 300 and the button called. Phillips raised to 1,200 from the big blind, the cutoff folded and the button called.

Phillips led for 1,800 on a flop of {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

and forced the fold.

On the next hand, Phillips limped from the small blind and four players saw a flop of {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. Action checked around and Phillips led for 600 when the turn brought the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

. He got one call and went heads up to the river, which brought the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

.

Phillips bet 1,300 and got called before turning up {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

for a full house. "Is that good enough?" he asked. He got his answer when his opponent tossed his hand into the muck.
