Luck of the Draw?

Phillips and Schwartz: Back to the Future.
Phillips and Schwartz: Back to the Future.

In what can only be described as the luck of the draw, 2008 WSOP Main Event Finalists Ylon Schwartz and Dennis Phillips just happen to be seated at the same table here in the evening session.

Phillips seems to be enjoying the experience, having already picked up a few pots and increasing his stack up to 36000, which is apparently a much better start than he had earlier today.

"It's been great," he told PokerNews. "I haven't ran into quads yet or set over set."

Phillips even managed to fold ace-king preflop when two players shoved ahead of him.
