Another Cooler! Phillips Doubles Up

The Spades Bracket has been full of "set-up" hands. Dennis Phillips and Erick Lindgren, moved to the back feature table after the elimination of Phil Ivey, got all the chips in on a flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}. Lindgren tabled bottom two pair, {k-}{3-}, but Phillips had a set of aces! Phillips doubled up and took the lead after the turn {5-Spades} left Lindgren drawing dead.
