Pot For Dennis Phillips

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Dennis Phillips famously finished in third place in the 2008 Main Event for $4,517,713 and he still has love for the game.

In a recent hand he related to us against Dustin Crump, he three-bet the open and Crump called. The flop was {a-}{k-}{4-} and Crump check-called a bet from Phillips.

The turn was a {6-} and Phillips bet 2,500 which was right around pot-sized. Again Crump called.

On the river {k-}, a final check from Crump saw Phillips bet 5,000 and that got the job done. Pot without showdown for Phillips.
