Phillips Flops Flush

Dennis Phillips

Joe Bishop limped from early position and the action folded around to Dennis Phillips in the big blind who raised it up to 250,000. Bishop made the call.

They saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Phillips checked over to Bishop who fired out 550,000. Phillips made the call.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and again Phillips checked to Bishop who fired out 550,000. Phillips announced a check-raise of an additional 700,000. Bishop made the call as a big pot was brewing.

The river landed the {2-Spades} and Phillips led out for one million in chips. Bishop rose out of his chair and paced around in disbelief before declaring an emphatic "Call!"

Phillips flipped over {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the nut flush, as Bishop mucked his cards. Phillips is now up over nine million in chips with Bishop slipping to under two million.
