Phillips Busts Poe
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thomas Phillips opened to 20,000 from middle position before Bobby Poe went all-in for 71,000 from the cutoff. Phillips made the call to put Poe at risk.
Bobby Poe: A♣K♣
Thomas Phillips: 7♣7♦
It was a race between the overcards and the pocket pair.
Phillips maintained his lead when the flop came Q♥6♥10♥. Neither player had a heart.
The Q♠ turn introduced a counterfeit opportunity should a ten peel on the river.
Instead, the board paired when the 6♣ peeled on the river. Phillips still held the best hand as Poe was eliminated from contention.
