Dennis Phillips Trap - World Series of Poker 2008 WSOP

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Sliwinski's fan club's shirts are grammatically incorrect.

[beampaki]

Fake and gay.

Nice try troll.

[naruto345212]

the moral of this story...dont fk around when you are 4 places away from november 9 folks

[atomisten]

the idiot here was phillips with his instacall :D how can u insta that unless u really have a read on the guy that he is weak, which i doubt he had, he was like : OMGAD I HAVE A FLUSH! I CALL U DOWN WITH WHATEVER HAPPENS... evne though he played it like a set which could have turned to a fullhouse, so at least phillips should have thinked a little before instacalling, meaning philips sux more than sliwinsky

[marshallbrooks1]

@atomisten you just really embarassed yourself just now. saying the guy who made te good play is worse than the guy who made the bad play because in your opinion he did it too quickly. you just came off as a huge idiot its ridiculous

[atomisten]

@marshallbrooks1 dude this means u should PLAY poker and give away money u worthless trash, what he did was a bad play, but poker is like that, even if u r 90% wrong, sometimes u win with that 10% and u r happy that u r a genius not considering the other 100times when u lost your money the same way.

[marshallbrooks1]

@atomisten so you flop a king high flush and you lose 90% of the time? kill yourself right now you are an idiot i cant believe it how stupid one person can be.

[atomisten]

@marshallbrooks1 u r definitely a retard or trolling..but as i said MULTIPLE TIMES, the way the hands played til the river suggests u lose this hand a LOT times, because opponent can easily have a set or 2pair with those raising (even though he was only REPRESENTING one) where the set in the end becomes full house and even the 2pair can become fullhouse and still the Ahigh flush beats you too and the problem of the noob dennis like yourself is the instacall not thinking about those possibilities

[atomisten]

@marshallbrooks1 since u r hopelessly brainless i will show u what i meant cuz else u wouldnt understand shit:.... /watch?v=WO8k47_lP0M see negreanu in the beginning and ending of video, thats a good poker player has a set and thinks about the possibility of opponent might have a bigger set. or later invideo hits the straight and doesn't go crazy so folds cuz opponent had flush. philips would instacall with the set and insta with the straight too and lose money with straight cuz opponent flush.

[marshallbrooks1]

@atomisten yeah im done with this cuz u can barely put your sentences together..good luck in life i hope you dont accidentally walk into the street and get hit by a bus.

[atomisten]

@marshallbrooks1 u r probably the most retarded in the whole internet, u should just stay home anc cry how hopeless you are, i guess u didnt even notice i wrote 2 replies not just one to your previous statement, u r just plain funny i laugh so hard at your brainless self that i am crying lol, thank you for the laugh u must really be successful person with your max 90 IQ

[marshallbrooks1]

@atomisten thanks

[TheJRL89]

@atomisten as well as phillips slowplay, it looks like he had the read after the turn and it was easy as 1, 2, 3 after that river card

[alive2k7]

Nice call preflop 35BB deep oop against the chipleader 65o

I mean what a retard, any guy break even at least on 50$ MTTs online would play it better ie folding preflop obv

This guy is such a fucking joke, thats the ME about 6,5k players 2 tables left, lots of people would kill someone to run good enough (need skill too obv, but hell lot of variance) to be there.

People are getting coolered KK vs AA that deep in the tourney and this 70IQ idiot spew everythin with 65o oop against the CL LOLOLOL

[alive2k7]

Pair of 7s might fold to a shove, trips 9s, flopped flushs or fulls never gonna fold

And other possible hands in Philips range are beaten by Nick's pair of 6s so shoving is the biggest mistake ever.

Absolutely no value at all, almost any better hand is gonna fold (so you cant bluff), and you can't value bet a weaker hand.

If you think Philips can bluff the river with a missed flush then check call with your 6s, otherwise check fold the river

[alive2k7]

Pure aggro retarded donk WOTAFISH LMAO

Playing 65o oop against an UTG raiser

Donkbetting flop, barreling turn when he has showdown value with a turned pair of 6s (he is ahead the flush draws in Philips' range) then shoving river when he has 2 pairs so he is beating any missed draw

Philips is never folding trips 9 river since the flush has missed, only better hand than 9s and 6s that may fold is 7x so if Philips had something like Ah7x he might fold, if he has at least trips 9s he is calling

[TheGarylee66]

Sliwinsky totally misplayed this. Can't believe after two smooth calls he goes all in on Phillips.

[MSUHitman]

Dennis Phillips with a squeeze play Tony La Russa would be proud of.

[godzac]

Very good acting by Dennis. It looks like he's calling on a flush draw. And when the 9 of spades comes, he looks away in disappointment (1:35). Excellent!

[Iizardkingz]

Well there was the possibility of floping a set.. The 9 on the river would give him the full house and the win..

[DaDonisback1]

fucking advertisement

[cky137]

stupid wrist against his face

[MareksnoRaganas]

traps him? bullshit. the guy just kept betting and phillips kept calling thats all.

[JonJoProductions]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[macross5000]

when Phillips called at 1.2 million, that should have told the younger person something.

[juv3ntin]

lol what an idiot..

[GENIUSBOYBOY]

he could of pulled a bluff with 65 out of position if he represented a set betting the size of the pot on flop, check the turn and shove it on the river or overbet the flop and the turn and check the river

[magicolivier]

I agree with all of your comments. But imo, what if NS shove coz he represented a pair of 7's or 3's, that hit a full house on river.

[ColourboyMarkyboy]

Freakin idiot from North Eastern USA

[krazyazn208]

not as bad as when kopp fucked up.. basically had the final table and hella messed up..

[SurvivingTheHorizon]

i dont get what hes trying to get him off of? if all phillips had was a big heart, then he wins anyway with a pair. Anything else that called two bets is certainly calling the river.

[dh144498]

LOL

[jtizzle22788]

Hows that kid going to shove with a pair?! In the words of the pokerbrat..........How do these idiots make it to final tables?!

[mr2gti]

No trap, just 1 donk trying it on against Philips who has the best hand.

[MrGnomemeat]

This is so utterly pathetic.

1)He's in the bb with 65o

2)Phillips is UTG, and raising

3)He decides to call with 65o, out of FUCKING POSITION.

4)Fold 65o to an UTG raise

5)As played, check the turn. If he bets, fold.

6)As played, check the river, FOR F SAKE.

7)How did this moron make it this far? W T F?

8)At any point did this moron think that Phillips COLD CALLING TWICE (NOT ONCE) is the sign of a monster? OMFG!

[BoomBoomPowDatBitch]

whose the bully now motherfucker?

[christianwbmx]

Qc 2c yes he hit 2 pair on the turn and a flush draw, i read him super on the flop, i just cant believe he got that lucky and hit his 3 outer! (and played Q2 come on!) there is some skill to the game but this guys get lucky ( b4 my hand he had hit 2 full houses (one with pocket 7s, and another one with 4 8) in a one hour period!

[artpeacock]

@christianwbmx WTF? You said you put him on a flush draw, but then say you read him super on the flop. Not to mention you called an early position raise with Q9 off and then move in on the turn with one pair and a shitty kicker. Stop crying. Dennis doesn't claim to be a pro by the way.

[christianwbmx]

i bet $60 dennis raises to $160. the first raiser folds, i took my time and i put dennis on a flush draw, i just called, next card is a 2d, so we are looking at Qh 6c 7c 2d. i checked to see what he does now, he bets $220. as i put him on a flush draw i raised all in for another $600, he called, the river is a 5d. wanna now what the pro played??

[christianwbmx]

I have just played @ caesars palace 30 mins ago (i'm still in pain) against Dennis Phillips, and he is not a great player, he gets lucky as hell. i had a perfect read on him, but he got lucky. we are playing 2-5 nl. I've got around 1k and he has 1.5k there is a $25 raise from early position, I'm first to act i had Q 9 off. i made the call next to act folds then dennis calls, and everybody else folds.. flop is Qh 6c 7c, the original raiser checks,

[Disney312]

What a stupid motherfucker.  He pushes all in against a pro with 2 pair when there is a flush and full house possibility out there? Someone who showed strength preflop by putting out a big raise, calling him to the river, and then he thinks his 6's and nines are going to be good? DUMBASS! I hate stupid poker players!

[wesleyhoulihan]

What a waste of 3 days hard work! I hate blow ups like that...everyone does them at some point though sadly! Well most of us do...

[gix500]

@wesleyhoulihan yes we all make these mistakes, except for the people commenting on this video....the key to getting better is first to know what u did wrong, and lets hope this guy realised that he was overplaying this hand from the start

[dh144498]

that all in is questionable. bad move.

[ImStillBlind]

im no pro.... but to go so far only to make a play like that.

[treezX]

yea no kidding..young kid ran out of patience

[fwe4life]

"WHOSE THE BULLY NOW" ROFL

[sammygee17]

ITS A TARP

[JohnQWydell]

lol. that slewinsky dude had to cry :P

[vitormeza]

a field of 6500 players!

only 5 to go for the november 9!

stack of 5 million!

with 65 off!

out of position!

and facing an UTG raise!

LETS BLUFF THE CHIP LEADER AFTER 2 CALLS AND 2.5 TO 1 ON A CALL TO FUCK UP MY AMAZING RUN AT THE MAIN EVENT!

starring nick sliwinsky

[chimapalooza]

LOL Perfect post!

Gawd, how awful.. wtf is he shoving that river for?

seriously, the only hands nick can put him on, that beats nick but folds to the all in is a big overpair with a heart. That missed the flush.

basically only AA with Ace of hearts makes sense, so for him to narrow the range to 1 hand is just stupid!

[Olekander]

@vitormeza lmfao

[wesleyhoulihan]

@vitormeza

Ha ha! Well said my lad.

[ipulltigga]

@vitormeza I agree. Did he think he was actually going to bluff Dennis after he called a couple of times. Haha I swear how do bad players like nick get to the final tables at the WSOP.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@vitormeza If his 6-5 were suited, I *might* understand it.

[tomdamho]

absurd i would rarely bluff out of position in a tournment HELL NO...........NEVER bluff out of position. Save the bluff when you absolely know your opponent missed his flush or str8 draw. Check the river to induce a bluff get more money.

[WhiteDudeWithAnAfro]

I can understand trying to take down the pot right away hoping that Phillips only had only one heart in his hand. But Phillips flopping the king high flush knows that only an ace high flush, full house or a straight flush could beat him. That fact that the other player was betting into it most likely meant he wasnt betting a set or better flush but probably top pair and wanting to take the pot down ASAP. By the river, Phillips was pot committed and had to call even if facing a full boat.

[EliasHrafn1]

uff i would cry if i were nick

[Furthermore23]

that was not a trap :S

[DotAxxftw]

trap?!=!

haha noobs

[drbdrbrobertdrbdrb]

"he can not win the hand unless dennis takes a phone call for a realy long and complex truck-sale"

An other way to discribe someone is drawing dead :P Hilarious!! :D

[pokerfreebies]

WHOSE THE BULLY NOW <--- LOL

[alaindeluxe]

lol at spelling on shirts

[FCule]

OMFG.. the stupidest all in i've seen :O

[ElSpewtardo]

I think Phillip's bluff at the FT is much worse

[JohnQWydell]

nick slewinsky is a cry baby, he deserved it

[Dadge42]

damn well played by Phillips

[Pingu123489]

lol almoust slowroll if he had a hand

[chadsem]

Cards, position and a whole lotta luck.

[Anwaaro]

was nice acting by phillips, he made the other guy think he was flush drawin with an ace.

[Cheshario]

Dennis Phillips took a long time to say

"call" when the other guy said "all in" jajajaja

[taito79]

i got kicked out of a tournament today with this hand... i was doing pretty good until i got a flush to the king vs a goddamn flush to the ace :'(

[mo10fing]

Young amateur online players are super aggressive. DP has been playing with those kind of people the whole tourny.  Good of him to check the whole way and let the youngen bet into him.

[Jowind]

wow. phillips flops the second nuts and is completely cool with it. his hands are ice. i'd be shaking and sweating and my voice would be cracking.

[Generalshad]

I don't understand how people fall into these sort of traps...sometimes they just seem so obvious

[Jowind]

pretty easy when you see the cards. its all about position.

[Generalshad]

Nick was first to act on each street. Dennis called the flop, then turn, Nick should have slowed down IMO. But you are right it's much easier when you see the cards.

[Bputts]

You can validate Nick throwing out those 2 bullets after the flop and the turn since he was acting first possibly trying to steal the pot there, but after the smooth call on the flop he should have realized that Dennis wasn't afraid of those 3 hearts and probably had the flush himself. He obviously was hoping Dennis put him on a set and that the 9 on the river gave him a boat.

[najdorf]

agree.

[pbrackin]

lol. You think when Phillips calls he "probably" has a flush, and you think he's hoping Phillips will put him on a full house and fold a flush.

[namsu22]

all you people who say that was a bad move all in...nick went on his read...the old guy did a really good job of acting, looked exactly like he was on a busted flush draw did u see the way he called the turn...

[smotpoker00]

what an idiot

[Phrentoes]

Worst played hand of the tournament.

[tomerp84]

the little boy play really bad..

[jarodtsanders]

I just got off the phone with dennis this morning, talk about one of the most humble guys you'll ever meet. Me and him have been friends since he actually taught me how to play poker back in 2003. Talk about a class act!

[Dirkdiggler88]

also, i love seeing those grown men tears - awesome

[Dirkdiggler88]

nick's a loser! haha!

[pongpro31]

dennis flopped a flush that was sick...dennis is a good player he has a real chance to take the 2008 WSOP bracelet

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Gotta agree with that. I'm Korean-American and I would root for Chino Rheem and Kelly Kim but I honestly think Dennis Phillips is gonna win. He's a solid player, not like Chino or other donkeys like montgomery, who all ins with dumb ridiculous hands, highly depending on outs. I love Dennis's quote where he mentioned "those who talk the loudest are the first to leave."

[cueforce]

Sorry, i disagree..

In my opinion he could never win the ME.

He was the worst player at the final table for sure.

He can't lay down top pair/overcards etc..

[EdDy4RheelZ]

haha, thanks for mentioning that AFTER main event final table was over. rofl. I was disappointment at my judgement about him winning though when I saw how he played at final table. He got squashed in first few hands and lost his position as chip leader. My next guess of being champion before final table was Demidov since he made to final table on WSOP Europe but I guess he got second and eastgate won it.

[bennybody]

No I agree with you. Even in the interview before the November nine he stated that he is much older and much wiser than the other players over confident of his victory. He tried to push Ivan around in that first big confrontation under estimating his opponents but it failed. Phillips was defenetely one of the worse players at the table. The most experienced was probably Chino but the best player at the final table was defenetely Ivan.
