Phillips' Big Move

We don't know exactly how the action went preflop, or on the flop but we do know on a board reading {10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-} Dennis Phillips opted to check. Phillips' opponent, Kevin DeTienne fired out 160,000. Phillips' response was to move all in for 431,000 more. DeTienne then went deep into the tank, pondering the right course of action.

A couple of minutes went by and all that could be heard was the gathered crowd questioning to themselves what either player could possess. Eventually DeTienne convinced himself he was second-best and folded his cards.

Phillips then flipped over {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives to much the approval and surprise of the crowd and table.
