Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 7. He folds to Peter Eastgate, who puts in a raise to 1,500,000. Dennis Phillips makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes down {J-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades}. Eastgate leads out for 1.5 million, and Phillips begins counting out a raise, ultimately deciding to move all in. Eastgate snap-calls.

Phillips {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Eastgate {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}

Eastgate flopped a set of threes and Phillips is drawing nearly dead.

"Oh well!" he said with a shrug, standing up from his seat.

The {A-Spades} lands on the turn and Phillips is officially drawing dead. The river is the meaningless {9-Diamonds} and the Phillipians give their man a roaring ovation as he exits the stage in third place. Phillips will take $4,517,773 back to St. Louis.

We've now reached our final two, so what does that mean? Another round of the "Ooba Ooba" song from the Danes, of course!
