Phillips Undeterred and Gets Half

Carter Phillips has amassed quite a stack, giving him ammunition to play lots of pots and to play them to many streets. He was one of three players to call a pre-flop raise to 2,700. Phillips had last action on a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and bet 4,500. The big blind quickly raised to 15,000, driving the two players in between him and Phillips out of the pot. Phillips called.

When the turn fell {9-Clubs} the big blind forcefully bet another 27,000. It did not take Phillips long to call. Both players checked the river, the {j-Clubs}. They chopped the pot with {10-Clubs}{7-Spades} (big blind) and {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} (Phillips). Each player had a pair of tens and used the ace, jack and nine on board to fill out his hand.
