Throwing Haymakers

Gert Andersen opened for 150,000 and Brandon Cantu called from the cutoff. Dennis Phillips then raised to 400,000 on the button and Nikolay Losev came over the top from the small blind and made it a cool million to go. Anderson and Cantu folded but Phillips made the call.

The flop came {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} and Losev fired out for 500,000. Phillips then moved all in and that motivated Losev to give up his hand. Phillips is now up to 5 million and Losev sits with 5.8 million.
