Phillips Starts on the Wrong Foot

On one of the first hands of the day, Joseph Cada raised to 125,000 from under the gun. He was called by Miika Puumalainen and Dennis Phillips in the big blind. The flop was very coordinated, {10-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Phillips checked to Cada, who made a strong lead of 325,000. That was enough to fold Puumalainen, but not Phillips. He stuck around until the turn {5-Hearts}, where he check-folded to a bet of 475,000 from Cada.

Cada is now sitting behind about 4.1 million chips. Phillips is down to 1.9 million.
