Phillips' Big Call

Dennis Phillips raised from under the gun and made it 250,000. Stuart Spear was next to act and called quite quickly. The rest of the table folded and the dealer spread {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for the flop.

Phillips bet out 350,000 and after a few minutes Spear moved all in. Phillips was visible surprised by this and continued to talk himself through his options. In the end though he said "I don't think I can lay it down" and made the call, flipping over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Spear then flipped over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and the two were going to have a chop pot so long as the board didn't run out clubs. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {7-Hearts} on the river sealed the deal and both players got their money back.
