Showdown
McCormick:
Phillips:
Phillips was visibly disappointed when he saw that he'd been flushed on the turn, but he still had outs to get there with a full house.
The river was no help at all, however, and Phillips has run out of chips. After a great run with a lot of spectator support urging him on, he's made it all the way to 10th place. It was a fine performance, outlasting more than 2,500 runners, but it seems to be little consolation to Phillips at the moment. He'll have to settle for a $35,327 payday and a grumpy evening at home.
