Phillips Crippled by Quads

Dennis Phillips opened for 2,400 under the gun and received a call from Steve Melton on the button. When the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Phillips check-called a bet of 5,000 before check-calling a bet of 7,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn.

The {5-Hearts} river saw a third check from the St. Louis native, allowing Melton to fire out 11,000. Phillips tanked for a bit before just flatting with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, but it was no good against Melton's {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} quads!
