Phillips Spikes the River For a Massive Double Knockout
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Chino Rheem bet 70,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♠J♦7♠ and Tyler Phillips called on the button. Jon Kyte then moved all in for 224,000 in the big blind, Rheem reshoved for 350,000, and Phillips called to create a massive pot with nearly 1,000,000 in the middle.
Jon Kyte: J♠J♥5♦4♠2♦ 
Chino Rheem: A♣9♣8♦4♥2♣
Tyler Phillips: A♥Q♠10♥7♣2♠
Rheem had flopped a straight against Kyte's top set and Phillips' flush draw. The 4♣ fell on the turn, but the K♥ river improved Phillips to the nut straight and earned him the double knockout.
"Holy shit. That was massive," tablemate Patrick Leonard said.
