Alan Phillips

Play moved slow following break, but there was a three-way all-in recently that left yesterday’s turbo champion Alan Phillips bust.

Phillips got all-in holding AhJc and was against the KcQc of one opponent and the KhQh of another. With his adversaries each holding two of the others’ outs, and Phillips holding two of their straight cards, the turbo champ was a favorite to win.

A Js9s5s flop paired Phillips, but the Th turn gave his opponent’s a straight. Frustrated, he stood from the table. After a second or two to cool down, he pushed in his chair and left with a smile.
