Dennis Phillips reserved an astounding 359 tickets for his supporters, many of whom flew in from his hometown of St. Louis, MO to watch him play. Since their man doubled up and then won a huge pot from Ivan Demidov, they've grown increasingly rowdier and more excited, as Phillips is now back in safe chip territory.

After starting out as the chip leader with 26.3 million, Phillips fell to only 8.8 million after dropping a massive early pot to Demidov. He has now climbed back up to over 27 million, prompting even more chanting and cheering from his entourage.
