Four-Bet Phillips

Thai Tran raised it up from the cutoff seat, putting out what looked like 68,000 chips. Next door, Billy Kopp three-bet it up to 225,000 from the button. Next to act was Dennis Phillips, and he had that look in his eye. After about a minute-long staredown in the direction of his two opponents, Phillips four-bet raised it to 700,000 straight. Tran quickly folded, and Kopp followed suit, sending more than 300,000 uncontested chips over to Phillips.

That's the second time he has put in a preflop four-bet here at this featured table, and it's benefitted him to the tune of more than a half-million chips.
