Phillips Begins with a Double

On the very first hand of the day, Carter Phillips was able to double up. That's a lot better than the very first hand he played on Day 3 of the $25,000 High Roller Freeze-Out where he took a massive beat.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} this time and Phillips was all in with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Alexey Rybin made the call and held the {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Spades} to give Phillips the double and move him to about 20,000 chips.
