Phillips Scores Huge Double Up

Carter Phillips Doubles Up
Carter Phillips Doubles Up

Tom Chambers opened in the cutoff to 225,000 and it folded to Carter Phillips who moved all in from the big blind for 2,440,000. Chambers called and showed {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Phillips had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and we were off to the races.

Phillips jumped into the lead on the {Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop by pairing his queen. It wouldn't be a race without a sweat, however, as the turn brought the {K-Hearts} giving Chambers outs to make a straight. The river bricked out though, bringing the {5-Hearts}.

This hand was a key double up for Phillips while crippling Chambers.
