Phillips Eliminated in Set-Over-Set Hand
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
On a flop of 
, Dennis Phillips checked only to have chip leader Harris Paroya throw in a bet. Phillips opted for a check-raise, Paroya shoved, and Phillips called off his remaining stack:
Phillips: 
Paroya: 
It was a brutal set-over-set situation, and Phillips found himself on the raw end of the deal. He needed the last four in the deck to keep his WSOP-Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event hopes alive, but neither the
