| Phil S. (Lauderhill, FL) |
Whether it's in the first level of a tournament, or late at the final table, a player's success is usually determinant on how they "flip." It's rare that any player will navigate their way through an event without running into a spot where things are a coin flip heading in. Phil S. (Lauderhill, FL) just ran into one of those spots, and after being on the winning end, vaults himself towards the top of the leaderboard.
After four player limped for 1,000, an unknown player in the hijack raised to 12,000. Phil, who was next to act on the button, three-bet shoved for 42,800. After the limpets folded behind, the original raiser tanked for two minutes, eventually making the call:
Phil: A♦ Q♠
Player X: 9♥ 9♦
Runout: Q♥ J♦ 7♠ 4♣ 10♣
Phil would flop top pair, with his opponent needing to hit a two outer to win (heading to the river). The four-spotter was a little bit of a sweat for Phil, but he'd end up doubling up through his opponent, and now sits with just under 95,000.
