Phillips' 3-Bet Pays More Dividends...

[user76023]

Goodwin raises to 250,000 and Phillips makes it 700,000 and Goodwin calls.

The flop is {K-Clubs}

and Phillips bet 800,000 and Goodwin calls. The {9-Clubs}

comes on the turn and Phillips checks. The river is the {6-Clubs}

and now Phillips bets 1,400,000 and Goodwin quickly folds.

Break Time

[user46392]

10 minutes of sitting around, staring into space and the like.

Goodwin Fistpumps...

[user76023]

No, nothing to do with poker, he was just asking the camera how the England football team were doing against Croatia tonight.

England are 2-0 up at the moment...

Goodwin Switches to Check-Folding

[user46392]

Phillips made it 250,000 and Goodwin called to see a {7-Spades}

flop. He checked and then called a 275,000 from Phillips, but when Phillips bet 750,000 to his check on the {10-Diamonds}

turn, Goodwin gave it up.

Goodwin Doubles Up

[user76023]

Phillips makes his usual raise and Goodwin calls. The flop is {10-Clubs}

, Goodwin then check-raises a 275,000 bet to 975,000 and Phillips makes the call.

The {A-Spades}

comes on the turn and Goodwin moves all-in and Phillips calls!

Goodwin: {10-Hearts}

Phillips:

The

on the river helps no-one and we're back to even.

The stacks are almost even now.

Goodwin Getting Short

[user46392]

Goodwin raised to 250,000 and then flat-called the raise to 700,000 from Phillips. Interesting.

They found themselves looking down at a {K-Hearts}

flop and Phillips bet out 875,000. Call. Wow.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}

and they checked it; the river was the {K-Diamonds}

and they checked that too.

Showdown...

...And Carter Phillips' pocket eights were good, Goodwin just mucking.

Phillips: movin' on up to 10.795 million
Goodwin: sinking down to 3.58 million

Goodwin's Check-Call Strategy Backfires

[user46392]

Phillips raised from the button and Goodwin flat-called.

Goodwin check-called 275,000 on the {Q-Spades}

flop before they both checked the {7-Spades}

turn. The turn came down the {7-Diamonds}

and this time Goodwin check-called 500,000 -- only to muck when Phillips turned over {J-?}

for rivered trips.

"Nice," said Goodwin. He didn't mean it though.

Phillips: 9,745,000
Goodwin: 4,630,000

Phillips 3-bets

[user76023]

Goodwin raises to 250,000 and Carter Phillips puts in his first 3-bet in a while, making it 675,000.

Goodwin folds quickly.

A Small Win for Goodwin

[user46392]

Goodwin raised his button and Phillips just flatted. Both players checked the {3-Spades}

flop and Phillips checked again when the {5-Spades}

came on the turn, putting four spades on the board. Goodwin put in a half-pot 250,000 bet, and took it down.

As predicted, the tournament area has gone eerily quiet since last Spaniard standing Santiago Terrazas busted out. Marc Goodwin initially made some efforts to make conversation, but Carter Phillips was not really going for it. There's more of an air of gravitas now, but it's not nearly as much fun.
