Dennis No Longer a Menace

Down to several hundred, Dennis Phillips moved all in from early position with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, only to be called by William Miller on the button. With king high, Phillips was hoping for a flip, and his wish was granted as Miller tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for the medium pocket pair.

The {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop was blank, as was the {A-Diamonds}, and despite Phillips declaring, "I can't lose every one," the river card came the {7-Spades} to send him home.

"And of course," he says with a sigh, glancing over at the PokerNews staff, "they have to report on it."

"I lost my last four races," continued a disgruntled Phillips, "but at least I made it entertaining."
