David Phillips Eliminated in 7th Place ($2,000)
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After Gregg Bloom limped Q♥8♣ in the small blind, David Phillips checked his K♣J♣.
The action flop came K♦Q♦8♠, and action did indeed come with Bloom holding two pair and Phillips with top pair.
After Bloom checked, Phillips bet 125,000 and got check-raised by Bloom to 300,000. Phillips then moved all in for 925,000 and after a bit of thought, Bloom called.
The turn 4♥ and river 3♣ brought Phillips no help and his top pair went down in flames to eliminate him in 7th place.
