Phillips' Takes a Turn with the Double-Up Stick

[user75032]

Doyle Brunson, with the chip lead on Dennis Phillips, applied pressure. He moved in on a flop of {3-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. Phillips flopped top pair with {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} and quickly called.

Brunson turned over middle pair, {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. The turn {3-Diamonds} took away almost all of his outs, improving Phillips to queens and threes. The river {A-Spades} took away the rest.

Phillips now has a big chip lead. Someone in the front row apologized to Phillips for the fact that everyone in the gallery appears to be rooting for Brunson.

"If I wasn't in here I'd be rooting for him," replied Phillips with a grin.
