"I Won My Money Back from the Slot Machine"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found David Phillips facing a bet for his stack on a board of {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Phillips was in the big blind, and he had 10,400 left. There was about 7,000 in the pot, and he grabbed his stack with both hands and put it in the middle declaring that he had a three. It was leading.

Phillips: {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Phillips got the blank he wanted as the {6-Spades} hit, missing his opponent's overcards and straight draw.

"Man was ready to go home," Phillips' opponent said. "In a $1,000 buy-in tournament?"

"I won my money back from the slot machine," Phillips said of his first failed bullet.
