Phillips Starts Mowing 'em Down

In rapid succession Carter Phillips eliminated two of his opponents. First he got all of Stuart [Removed:293]'s chips in the middle with a dominating hand, tabling {a-Spades} {q-Clubs} to [Removed:293]'s {a-Clubs} {j-Clubs}. Neither player improved and so [Removed:293] was retired.

The very next hand Mark Seif moved in with {a-Spades} {9-Spades} against Phillips' pocket fours. The board developed {k-Spades} {j-Spades} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades} by the turn, giving Seif fifteen outs heading to the river. He bricked them all with the {6-Diamonds}.

Winning those back-to-back pots increased Phillips' count to 315,000.
