Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dennis Phillips opened the action with a raise for 40,000 from the button and the small blind folded. James Mallen moved all in for 154,000 in total and Phillips was sent into agony. "Guess I am supposed to call here," he said. Then asked the dealer again how much more it was. Another minute passed by. "Sorry guys," he apologized for pondering about the decision. "Take your time," Stephen Wood said from the small blind. Ultimately Phillips tossed in the chips.

"I am ahead, barely," Phillips said upon discovering the cards of his opponent. The 
board stayed clear and we are down to 25 players.
