Phillips Doubles Through Gordon

Phil Gordon opened to 900 and Carter Phillips made the call.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Gordon fired out 1,000 only to have Phillips make it 3,000.

Gordon then moved all in and Phillips instantly made the call to put Phillips at risk.

Gordon: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Phillips: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The turn and river landed the meaningless {4-Spades} and {8-Clubs} to see Phillips double through to 16,000 as Gordon slips to 9,000 in chips.

We're not sure if it was just a coincidence, or the fact that the dealer is a fan of Rounders, but the flop is very similar to the one that saw Mike McDermott lose his bankroll at the start of Rounders.

Why is this interesting?

Because Matt Damon is seated in the one seat!
