Phillips Kicks Tran

We pick up the action on a flop showing {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Heads up, Thai Tran checked and called a bet of 100,000 from Dennis Phillips. The turn card came the {A-Diamonds}, and both men checked. On the river, the {K-Diamonds} drew another check from Tran. Phillips slowly bet 200,000, and Tran instantly called.

Phillips showed down {A-Spades} {5-Spades}, and Tran tabled {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}. Split pot? Not on Dennis Phillips' watch. His five kicker plays, earning him the pot and an extra 300,000+ chips.
