Action on the table folded around to "Laughatthis1" who raised to 6,750 from the cutoff and Kenneth “KBconcepts” Phillips defended his big blind to see a flop.
Phillips lead out for 15,000 and then called off his 39,780 stack after "Laughatthis1" raised to 60,000.
"Laughatthis1":
Kenneth “KBconcepts” Phillips:
Both players flopped trip nines and Phillips held the better kicker but the turn gave him a sweat as it gave his opponent the flush draw.
Unfortunately for Phillips, the river completed ""Laughatthis1's" flush and eliminated him on the bubble one night after he made the final table finishing fifth in Event #19: $400 No-Limit Hold'em.

At the beginning of the 2005 WSOP, Doyle Brunson remained the co-king of the all-time bracelet count, tied along with Johnny Chan at nine. However, as the series drew toward its close in late June, that was no longer the case — Chan had overtaken him by winning No. 10 to stand atop the mountain alone.
Brunson was already phasing out his tournament play, having cashed precisely zero times that summer and just three times in the previous two combined, although one had resulted in a bracelet victory.
When it came time for Event #31: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed, Brunson dusted off his tournament chops and made a run.
For the a more thorough look on Brunson's historic 10th bracelet win, click the link below.
