2008 World Series of Poker
39th Annual World Series of Poker Main Event
Day: 7
Phillips rolled over for the king-high flush. Sliwinski tabled for only a pair of sixes and headed over to his entourage, who enveloped him and spoke some hushed words of comfort. Phillips had Sliwinski covered and he was eliminated in 13th place, taking home $463,201.
After the hand, Phillips was up to over 14 million.
The Russian has been playing for about two-and-a-half years and considers playing in this year's WSOP to be his biggest poker accomplishment to date. Demidov locked up his seat in the event the old-fashioned way - with $10,000 cash.
Demidov is single with no children and plans to "get 12 hours of sleep" should he win the Main Event. In his free time, he enjoys skiing, scuba diving, and of course...poker.
