Hand of the Day
Carter Phillips Takes the Chip Lead
With blinds at 200-400 with a 50 ante, one player limped into a pot preflop in front of Carter Phillips, and Phillips raised to 1,600. The flop was dealt 8-2-2, and Phillips bet 2,200. His opponent raised to 7,500, and Phillips made the call. The turn brought a jack, and Phillips checked. His opponent bet 20,000, and Phillips made the call. The river brought a 5, and Phillips checked his option once again. His opponent moved all in, and Phillips made the call with pocket aces. His opponent mucked and was eliminated from the event. Phillips won the huge hand and grew his stack to 124,000, which was good for the chip lead.
