Will the Real Paul Phillips Please Stand Up

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

If you remember the beginning of televised poker, in particular the World Poker Tour, then you'll remember the name Paul Phillips. Phillips won the 2003 Bellagio Five-Diamond World Poker Classic, earning over a million dollars, and finished runner-up in the Legends of Poker.

Well, at the WSOP-C Choctaw stop, Paul Phillips went deep in the Main Event, but it was a different Paul Phillips. Often confused for the WPT's Paul Phillips, this Paul Phillips was adamant that he was a completely different individual. True enough, his Bedford, Texas origins differ from the other Paul Phillips' Las Vegas roots.

Phillips, who earned $38,834 in Oklahoma, is here in New Orleans, chasing what would be his first-career ring and his second cash of this stop.
