Get Carter!
Last years champion Carter Phillips has his work cut out if he is going to repeat his glory of twelve months ago.
We caught up with him as he was undergoing a massage at the table. He is sat to John O'Shea's direct left and had ~28,000 when we caught up with him in this hand.
Pasi Tapani Sormunen opened the action with a raise to 300 in early position and Phillips made it 1,200 to play a few seats to his left and Sormunen made the call. The flop was and both players checked. The turn was the and Sormunen bet 1,050 and Carter called. The river was the and again Sormunen made quite a small bet - this time 1,200 and again Carter called. Sormunen flipped over and Carter mucked his hand.
