Dennis Phillips Out, Still Smiling

Dennis Phillips - Eliminated
On a turn board showing {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades}, two opponents checked to Dennis Phillips, and he moved all in for 27,000. After some deliberation, Mark Friedman would make the call, folding the third player involved.

Phillips tabled {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}, trailing Friedman's {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Looking for a six or an eight, Phillips found none. The {2-Diamonds} filled out the board, and America's favorite truck salesman has been eliminated.

As he left the room, Phillips was all smiles, beaming from ear to ear. And it may take weeks to wipe that smile off of his face. Dennis spent the early part of the afternoon decked out in a personalized St. Louis Blues jersey, playing poker with a group of hockey players including Alex Ovechkin, Jeremy Roenick, and Eddie Olczyk over in the ESPN arena.
