Phillips Can't Find a Fold

We don't know how 40,000 chips wound up in a pot contested between Carter Phillips and one other player. That was the size of the pot as Phillips faced a bet of 12,000 on a board of {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Phillips really looked like he wanted to fold but ultimately called. Phillips opponent tabled a pair of kings, {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Phillips nodded as if he knew he was beat before he put the chips in, flashed a pair of tens in the hole, and mucked.

Losing that pot pushed Phillips' count down to 305,000.
