Philips & Tikhoniouk Falls

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Euan Cameron has caught fire here at the tail end of Level 20. Part of that was eliminating Team PokerStars Pro Dale "Daleroxxu" Philip.

It happened when action folded to Cameron in the small blind and he simply shoved all in to put the pressure on a short-stacked Philip in the big. The latter called off and no doubt regretted it.

Philip was crushed and it only got worse as the flop left him in need of either running straight cards or four to stay alive. Any hope of that happening disappeared when the turn gave Cameron a flush and left Philip drawing dead.

The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure and then Philip made his way to the payout desk in 30th place to collect �4,850. Meanwhile, Alexander Tikhoniouk was eliminated at another table in 29th place for the same amount of prize money.
