November Nine Running into Issues

Dennis Phillips soliders on.
Dennis Phillips soliders on.
Two members of the November Nine (Chino Rheem and Scott Montgomery) are already out. Another had to hit a miracle river to stay in the tournament. Dennis Phillips started the hand in question with roughly 7,000 of his original 20,000 chips. He called a preflop raise to 400 made by Robert Mizrachi. Action folded to Chau Giang in the big blind, who reraised enough to fold Mizrachi. Phillips made that his cue to push his whole stack in the middle. Giang called.

Phillips: {10-?} {10-?}
Giang: {Q-?} {Q-?}

Phillips found no joy on the {J-?} {2-?} {J-?} flop. The {6-?} on the turn left him looking for a miracle card on the river. He hit it; a {10-?} spiked to make a full house for Phillips. He doubled up to about 14,500 in chips.
