Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
On the turn of a board reading 
, Shannon Shorr and Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez were in action against each other. Fernandez checked, and Shorr bet 9,600. After a little bit of thought, Fernandez made the call.
The 
completed the board on the river, pairing it with threes. Fernandez tanked for a minute with his decision, then checked. Shorr fired a bet of 20,000 with four blue T5,000 chips. Fernandez took about 15 seconds, then made the call.
Shorr immediately turned over the 
for two pair, tens and threes. Fernandez didn't show, and the dealer pushed forward the two threes and the seven on board to display Shorr's five-card hand of tens and threes with a seven kicker. It was after 10-15 seconds that Fernandez then flipped up the 
for trip threes and the winning hand. Shorr looked puzzled, as did a few others at the table. Shorr picked up his tens, flicked them with his fingers, then tossed them into the muck as Fernandez was awarded the pot.

Fasan made the call but Makarov wouldn’t leave it there, he raised to 15,700. Fasan wasn’t sure if he was making a move on him but made the fold and seemed a relieved man when Makarov turned over 
. Sweeney was in trouble with his [ah t] and did not get any help when the dealer dealt 
to send him home.

"You're so lucky," we heard Martin Hanowski complain. We made our way over to discover a big pot in progress.
When we arrived, there was a board reading 
with a considerable amount already pulled into the pot. Hanowski had his last 70,000 or so in with 
and was up against PokerStars qualifier Jakub Michalak, who had turned Broadway with the 
.
Hanowski was clearly upset that his flopped set had been cracked and he received no reprieve as the failed to pair the board on the river. Hanowski made a beeline for the exit while Michalak collected the pot.

On October 26, 2009, Carter Phillips of North Carolina turned 21. One month before that, he won $1,216,023 by winning the Season 6 EPT Barcelona. That tournament, which attracted 428 entries and created a prize pool of €3,382,000, saw Phillips defeat a final table that included Matt Lapossie (7th - €120,000), Asa Smith (5th - €200,000) and Marc Goodwin (2nd - €500,000).
That year’s heads-up battle was one of the more memorable and lengthy in EPT Barcelona history. It began with Phillips holding 8.01 million in chips to Goodwin’s 6.37 million. The chip lead changed hands just once, but after three hours Phillips was able to reclaim it and finish the job. In the final hand, Phillips opened for 275,000 and Goodwin called, bringing about a flop of 
. Goodwin checked and then made it 1.16 million after Phillips bet 310,000. A call was made, the 
turned and Goodwin moved all in for 4.29 million. Phillips tanked for a bit before calling with the , which was well out in front of Goodwin’s 
. The {5h] river failed to change a thing and Phillips entered the history books.
The following year, PokerNews selected Phillips for a spot on their coveted Rookie Roundup roster, and he didn’t disappoint. The former student from UNC Charlotte that played online under the name “bdybldngpkr” ended up capturing his first gold bracelet in the 2010 WSOP Event #16 $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed for $482,774. Fast forward two years and Phillips added a second bracelet to his résumé when he topped a field of 2,811 players in the 2012 WSOP Event #31 $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em for $664,130. What’s more, he defeated 2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada in heads-up play to do it.
Phillips has more than $2.6 million in career tournament and continues to make his living playing poker.
