Remember earlier in the day when Carter Phillips was running so good that nobody could stand in his way? There may have been a little of that run-good left over in the tank. Phillips opened the pot pre-flop with a standard raise from the button. Samuel Gerber passed in the small blind before big blind Craig Bergeron re-raised to 295,000.
Bergeron had roughly another 1.9 million behind his raise. They all very, very quickly went into the middle after Carter Phillips four-bet all in. A chagrined Phillips was caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar when he turned over 
. Bergeron showed down 
and immediately bounded out of his seat and began pacing around the table. His railbirds were immediately out of their chairs and to the edge of the stage to sweat the flop.
The flop was an utter disaster for Bergeron. His sevens were out-flopped by Phillips, who made a pair of jacks. The turn 
teased some hope into Bergeron, as a river 10 would give him a chop. But the river paired the board with the 
to cut short Bergeron's impressive comeback from the short stack after his king-high hero call just before dinner backfired.
Bergeron leaves with $189,661. Carter Phillips and Samuel Gerber are now heads-up. Phillips starts with a better than 3-to-1 chip lead.
