Samuel Phillips Dodges Everything

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The action was on Samuel Phillips in the hijack, who three-bet to 21,000. The player in the cutoff four-bet to 52,000, and the original raiser folded. Phillips shoved all in for his remaining 159,000, and his opponent called.

Phillips: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop spelled disaster for Phillips when it came {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}, giving his opponent a straight-flush draw. Phillips was holding the {a-Hearts}, preventing him from making a Royal Flush. The turn brought the {j-Spades}, and the river was the {10-Diamonds}. Phillips was able to dodge all of his opponent's outs and held on for a double-up before the dinner break.
