Big Papa leaves with $75,000.

If Dennis Phillips was awed earlier to be playing Doyle Brunson heads-up for $50,000, he may very well be over the moon now. With the chip lead, Phillips called Brunson's all in on a flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. Brunson showed bottom pair and a flush draw, {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. Phillips had top pair, top kicker, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. The hand amounted to nearly a coin flip.

{j-Clubs}

and the

{Q-Clubs}

. Neither card improved Brunson's hand. He has been eliminated from the tournament, propelling Dennis Phillips into the semi-finals.

In their post-match interview, Leann Tweeden asked Phillips if he'd been reading Super/System.
