Phillips The Burn
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Steve Phillips just eliminated another player and has tripled his starting stack in just over an hour. He sat down after the dinner break and quickly busted two people.
On this hand, Phillips was on the button and in the tank. A player had opened to 2,100 and Phillips made it 4,000. Eli Stepanovich
called and the original raiser shoved all in. That is what sent Phillips into the tank.
Eventually Phillips called and Stepanovich folded. Phillips had 
against the 
of his opponent. The board wasted almost no time deciding the winner, when Phillips hit a king with two spades and then turned a flush on the 
board.
Phillips won the pot and is off to a fiery start about halfway through level ten.
