Phillips Scoops Harder
Level 20
: Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante
A♥8♣9♥3♣10♥
5♠7♥Q♦4♠Q♣
The flop checked around and when it got to Matthew Tamura in middle position, he fired 100,000 on the turn. Christian Harder called from the hijack, and Paul Phillips called in the small blind.
Phillips decided to lead out for 165,000 when the rivers hit, which got a quick fold out of Tamura. Harder seemed to have a tough spot as he exhaled a huge puff of air and leant back to mull it over. Eventually, Harder called.
Phillips then showed J♥9♠5♥5♦ for a flush on the top and a full house on the bottom, which meant he scooped as Harder mucked.
