"That's So Sick!"
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Dennis Phillips is back in business after a very fortunate run out of the board.
Phillips opened to 350 from under the gun, the cutoff called the bet only to see the button squeeze and make it 2,250 to play. The small blind ducked out of the way and Marc Etienne McLaughlin moved all-in for 3,125 in total. Phillips called off the rest of his stack, the cutoff folded and the button called.
McLaughlin: 
Phillips: 
Button: 
The 
flop improved McLaughlin to a Broadway straight, but both the button and Phillips had outs to chop. The 
turn seemed like a blank, but when the 
completed the board Phillips had improved to an unlikely flush, busting the button and boosting Phillips' hand massively.
"That's so sick," exclaimed Phillips before noticing us jotting down the details of the hand.
"You're not going to write this up, are you?" Phillips joked.
Of course we are, and here it is in all of it's glory.
