Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Action folded to Dennis Phillips in middle position and he raised to 5,200. The big blind was the only player to call and the pair watched the flop fall {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Spades}. From there, the big blind checked, Phillips bet 11,500, and the big blind check-raised all in for 32,400.

"Let me check," Phillips said as he counted out the chips. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to call." Sure enough, that is exactly what he did.

Phillips: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Phillips was in great shape to eliminate his opponent but still needed to dodge an ace or jack on the remaining streets. The {8-Spades} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {2-Diamonds} river. Phillips sent his opponent to the rail while chipping up to 210,000.
