Phil Collins Is In The Air Tonight

Phil Collins raised to 400 from middle position and a player holding the button three-bet for his last 725. Collins made the easy call and flipped up {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}, which meant he was racing against his opponent's {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

The flop was dry for Collins, coming {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the turn of {6-Diamonds} offered no help as well. Collins would need to spike a ten or a king on the river to eliminate the short-stacked player.

River: {10-Spades}

With that, Collins had notched the win and sent a player to the rail. He pushed his stack to 14,200 with the knockout and has a healthy stack as we head to break.
