Phillips Takes One On the River

We arrived at Carter Phillips table and found him four-betting the player on his left, Martin Klaeser, to 3,550. His opponent called and the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Both checked and the {5-Spades} hit the turn. Both opted to check again and the {2-Hearts} followed on the river. Phillips checked for a third time and Klaeser bet 2,175. After a few moments, Phillips raised it to 10,000 and forced a fold from Klaeser. With his two cards face down, he asked Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh to pick which one he should show. Leigh picked the one on the right and Phillips revealed the {9-Diamonds}.

He is up to about 37,300.
