Phillips Sends One Home

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player limped in early position and action folded around to Dennis Phillips who raised to 1,000. Action folded back around to the limper who dropped his short stack into the middle, making it 3,100 total. Phillips announced a call and turned up his hand.

Phillips: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Phillips' opponent took the lead when the flop came {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Phillips simply replied with a smile and a shrug. His smile became even wider, however, when the {K-Spades} dropped down on the turn, catapulting Phillips into the lead. The {7-Diamonds} came on the river and Phillips was able to send a player to the rail.

Phillips is now sitting at 21,000.

Some Chip Counts at the Break

Cartwright Running Hot Early

We spotted Kyle Cartwright standing up, gazing at the table. In front of him was the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. His opponent was also standing, hoping his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} would improve on a board of {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The turn and river came {3-Spades} and {2-Diamonds} and Cartwright was able to spend an opponent packing.
