During our last walk around we saw that last year's November Niner Phil Collins was all in and called by his opponent. Collins who took home a cool $2,269,599 for his main event performance last year was looking to make a memorable WSOP run this year. After the cards were tabled it didn't look like this would be the event where Collins has another great finish though.

Collins: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

A {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop allowed for Collins to hope for some kind of run run straight, but a {A-Hearts} on the turn diminished those dreams quickly. The miracle {8-Spades} on the river gave Collins a set of eights and the winning hand. Collins now sits around 27,000.
