"God Owed Me One"; Phillips Smacks the River For a Double Knockout
Kyle Lin raised to 5,000 under the gun before Andrew Phillips three-bet to 20,000 in the cutoff. Harrison Dobin called for his last 15,000 in the small blind, while Lin reshoved for 65,000. Phillips tanked for several minutes, but he eventually called to put both opponents at risk.
Harrison Dobin: 3♥3♣ 
Kyle Lin: J♥J♦
Andrew Phillips: 7♠5♠
Lin was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 5♣4♣4♠, while the A♠ turn gave Phillips a flush draw. The river was the 2♠ and Phillips made his flush to scoop the pot.
"Yes!" he yelled out, slamming the table in celebration. Lin let out a loud sigh before stopping to snap a photo of the board and joining Dobin on the rail.
"The math was on my side. I was getting two-to-one. It was dumb raise with him behind me. God owed me one," Phillips explained after the hand.
