A Warning For Mr. Phillips

Known as a Cheeky Chappie back in the UK
Known as a Cheeky Chappie back in the UK
A player in the cutoff makes a raise and Tony Phillips makes the call from the big blind. The flop comes down {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

Tony check-raises the cutoff player, who calls before the turn comes {J-Hearts}.

Tony now makes a pot-sized bet, which is enough to put the player all in. This player now tanks and Phillips starts talking to him and asks, "Have you got pocket fives, pocket sevens?" Then Phillips asks if he's allowed to show the player two cards but before he gets a response he pulls the two cards back in fear of getting punished. Then he asks the dealer if he can show one card, to which the dealer says, "I'm not going to stop you." Phillips exposes the {5-Diamonds} and this is enough to get his opponent to call.

Phillips flips over {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for a made flush which is beating the cutoff's {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {K-Spades} for a set of sevens.

The river comes {A-Hearts} to give Tony the nut flush and the pot which eliminates his opponent.

Another player then complains that Phillips should be penalized for exposing a card. The floor is called and Phillips protests that he shouldn't be penalized, because the dealer didn't stop him with ample opportunity to. A warning is given to Phillips and play continues.

Phillips flying along with 70,000 now.
