Mark Philippoussis in Freefall

Mark Philippoussis has not had the best of starts to his Main Event. Philippoussis has found his tablemates pretty keen to get involved in pots with him, and so far he has been coming out on the short end of things.

In one such hand Philippoussis, in middle position, called a 400-chip preflop raise from Chris Parker and went four-handed to the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Parker checked the flop from the small blind and the under-the-gun player fired out 575. Philippoussis made the call and action folded back to Parker, who check-raised to 3,500. The under-the-gun player folded and Philippoussis called again.

The turn {q-Hearts} dropped with Parker betting 11,000, enough to put Philippoussis all in. Philippoussis laid his hand down and has just 10,600 chips left.
