Alexander Wilson moved all in from the button. Big blind Hugo Perez peeked down at his cards and quickly called. His was behind Wilson's .
"Ace-nine's been good this World Series," said one railbird. And sure enough, the flop came to give Perez the lead. His pair held with running queens on the turn and river. He doubled up to 427,000, leaving Wilson with just 75,000 chips.
Carter Phillips just knocked another opponent out...
Mark Flowers went all in from the button and Phillips called in the small blind.

As we see it.
Russel Thomas just doubled his stack twice in just one orbit.
Act I:
Thomas went all in from the cutoff seat and Mark Flowers called in the small blind.
Showdown
Thomas:
Flowers:
Board:
Act II:
Holding ace king, Russell ended up all in pre-flop against Carter Phillip's ace jack. The board gave him a full double up.
Thomas Russell is now up to 1,200,000 chips.
The very next hand after the elimination of Kevin Iacofono, as Carter Phillips was still stacking his chips, he made a pre-flop raise. Matt Ezrol was next to act. He moved all in for about 350,000. Phillips quickly called with a hand that was once again in the lead. His was the dominating favorite over Ezrol's , even moreso after a ten-high flop. Ezrol never caught any piece of the board and was thusly retired in 11th place.
"Carter's won every pot," said Craig Bergeron.
"Easy game," Mark Flowers chimed in.
Mikhail Lakhitov was broken to the table after Ezrol's elimination. Flowers waraned Lakhitov how hot Phillips was running.
"He's won every pot. Hopefully you'll be his kryptonite."
It's going to take a lot of kryptonite to de-rail Phillips. He has roughly 2.7 million chips.
What a huge pot!
Kevin Iacofono opened the pot pre-flop before Carter Phillips re-popped it. Holding pocket kings, Iacofono went all in. Carter eventually called with ace-king of clubs, setting up a showdown for a pot worth 140 big blinds.
Flop:
Turn:
River: Flush for Phillips!
Phillips was pumped to see the river card. Iacofono was disgusted. When the stacks were counted down, Phillips had Iacofono covered. Iacofono is out of the tournament. Phillips has now a huge chip lead, with more than 2,000,000 chips.
