Phillips Moves Up

Carter Phillips and Michael Peltekci got involved in a hand where we picked up the action on the board reading {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Peltekci checked to Phillips, who fired a big bet of 90,000 to put Peltekci all in. The pot stood at over 110,000 chips on the turn. Peltekci folded his hand and Phillips showed the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for ten high.

After the hand, Phillips told us that he four-bet the action preflop and then called a check-raise on the flop before shoving the turn.

Phillips is up to 210,000 in chips now.
