Action picked up on fourth as a series of raises resulted in Becker being all-in with an already bloated pot with side action pending.
Xu was the aggressor the whole way, leading on fourth, fifth, and sixth as he was to the left of Becker's paired high board.
On seventh, Xu led for a final time, Phillips raised, and Xu reluctantly called.
"Flush," Phillips announced as he tabled K♣J♥5♥ in the hole. Becker had already gotten out of his seat once he heard the raise come from Phillips as he showed K♦J♦9♠ in the hole as he had three nines on fourth but could not fill up. Xu had K♠K♥7♦ in the hole for two pair, as he lost a huge one to Phillips.
