Fernando Gordo - Out

After limping into the pot, Dennis Phillips saw Fernando Gordo put in a raise to 110,000. Phillips then reraised to 310,000, and Gordo made the call.

The flop came out {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

, and Gordo quickly moved all in for 895,000. Phillips snap-called, and Gordo could only lower his head in acknowledgement.

Showdown
Gordo: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

Phillips:

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

Gordo was drawing only to running queens for the win, or runner-runner for the chop. The {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

on the turn was nowhere in the ballpark though, ending the hand right there. A meaningless {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

filled out the board, and Phillips has claimed the full stack of Fernando Gordo.
