Phillips Running Over the Competition

"Oh this sucks," said Team PokerStars Pro USA Denis Phillips. The flop was {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and his opponent had just check-raised all in.

"This really sucks," repeated Phillips as he grabbed his remaining chips in one hand. Although he had his opponent covered, calling the additional 1,200 would leave him crippled.

"Alright, lets do it," he said and threw his chips into the pot. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nut flush draw and Phillips showed {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} for top pair.

The turn brought a {5-Clubs}, followed by a {q-Clubs} on the river. Phillips avoided being flushed away, knocked out an opponent and is up to 5,500. Keep on truckin' Dennis.
