Collins Rings Retallick's Bell

Phil Collins

We heard the all too familiar "all in and call" chant from Phil Collins's table and went over to see what was happened. Daniel Retallick had put his last 600,000 in preflop, and Phil Collins was the only caller. The cards were tabled, and Retallick saw that he was in rough shape again Collins.

Collins: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Retallick: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The ESPN cameras took their positions, and the dealer showed a flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, Both players picked up a pair, but Collins was still well out front. The {7-Clubs} on the turn ended any chance of a backdoor draw or chop for Retallick, who needed one of the three remaining queens to stay alive. The river came the {2-Clubs}, and Collins scored the knockout, upping his chip stack to 3.6 million, while Retallick headed for the rail.
