Hand #86 - Dennis Phillips
Scott Montgomery has the button in Seat 4. After Peter Eastgate folds, Dennis Phillips makes it 1.3 million to go. Demidov asks Phillips for a count before calling the raise. Off to the flop we go.kc :

: Demidov quickly checks to Phillips, who bets 2.55 million, just slightly less than what"s in the pot. Demidov doesn"t take long to call. Both players check the turn.
The river is the ks, double-pairing the board and drawing a low murmur from the crowd. Again Demidov checks it over to Phillips. Phillips bets 5 million. Demidov is shaking his head and talking to himself, perhaps wondering what he"s gotten himself into here. Phillips has his hands interlocked in front of his face, eying all of the fidgety motions of Demidov. After two minutes in the tank, Demidov seems no closer to a decision. At one point he flips his hands up in the air slightly as if to say, "What do I do?" and then lets out an audible sigh. His lips are moving, perhaps working backwards through the action in the hand. Phillips keeps glancing at him. Finally, Demidov calls! Phillips opens kh qs for a full house, kings full of treys, to the jubilant roars of the Dennis Phillips Army. Obviously, after taking so long to call, Demidov can"t beat him. He quietly mucks his hand. Dennis Phillips is now up to 27.55 million in chips. That pot sends Demidov back down to the pack with 31.075 million.
