Phillips Increases Lead

donpeters

It was guest-pro commentator Noah Boeken's last hand and as soon as he mentioned this would be the last hand he watched, the action picked up.

Marc Goodwin opened with a raise to 225,000 from under the gun and Carter Phillips made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}

. Phillips checked to the preflop raiser. Goodwin fired 225,000. Phillips made the call.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts}

and Phillips checked again. Goodwin stayed aggressive and fired 600,000. Phillips made the call, swelling the pot to 2.16 million.

The river fell the {J-Hearts}

and Phillips checked. Goodwin quickly checked behind. Phillips rolled over {J-?}

and Goodwin sat there in disbelief. "You called 600K on the turn knowing you were behind and then didn't bet when you hit the river!" Goodwin exclaimed, disgustedly tossing his hand into the muck. Phillips copped a little smile as he was pushed the pot.

Phillips is up to 8.31 million now.
