Phillips Gets a Little from a Lot

Carter Phillips was loving life when two other players did his job for him, getting their stacks all in so all he had to do was call with {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. He had Justin Ogden and his {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} well covered, and both of them had bigger stacks than Laurence Grondin. She got her 5,000ish stack in with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

But it was Grondin's turn to love life when the flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}, giving her a set. The {5-Clubs} on the turn filled her boat, and {9-Spades} on the river saw her safely tripling up to 17,000. Phillips knocked out Ogden and picked up enough chips in the side pot to move up slightly to 55,000. A minute later, we turned around to see Grondin stacking 36,000 after doubling a second time.
