Scott Montgomery Wins a Massive Pot from Dennis Phillips

Ship it to Scott
Ship it to Scott
Dennis Phillips opened for 500,000, Scott Montgomery reraised to 2,200,000 and Phillips called. The flop was {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} Montgomery bet 1.5 million and Phillips called. The turn was the {K-Spades}. Phillips checked, Montgomery bet 2,000,000 and Phillips called. The river was the {9-Hearts}. Phillips checked and Montgomery bet 4,000,000.

(It's also worth noting that as Phillips tanked, the entire Chino Rheem-Joe Bishop all-in played out on the outer table, the crowd going nuts when Rheem hit a four on the river.)

After the commotion died down, Phillips made the call.

Montgomery showed {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} for the flush and dragged the monster pot worth over 15 million. Phillips took a 9.7 million hit on the hand and Montgomery is up to nearly 21,000,000.
