Swift Rise, Phillips Fall

Shamus

Dennis Phillips and his similarly-dressed fan and friend Bryan Swift have been playing at the same table for most of the day. While Phillips has been his usual active self, involved in many pots and moving lots of chips, Swift has been folding most hands while nursing a short stack all day.

Recently a hand occurred in which Phillips again opened with a standard raise from middle position, and it folded back around to Swift who raised all in from the big blind. It would take 18,000 more for Phillips to make the call, and after a bit of consideration he did.

Swift had {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

and Phillips {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. The board ran out {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

, and Swift survives. He has 54,000 now, while Phillips is sitting with 330,000.
