Phillip's Finding Chips
A player in middle position started a recent hand out by making it 1,200 to anyone who wanted to see a flop. A player in late position made the call, as did Dennis Phillips in the big blind.
The flop came 

and all three players knuckled the table for checks. A
on the turn saw a repeat of action with the three players checking.
The
on the river saw Phillips wake up and bet 3,000. The middle position player folded and the late position player made the call.
Phillips tabled 
for the straight and his opponent mucked his hole cards. While raking in the pot Phillips said "Neither one of you wanted to bet!?" acknowledging that he could have won a bigger pot.
