Phi Smiles for the Ladies

Brendan Phi opened UTG to 7,000 on 1,500/3,000/3,000. Zachary Elbers called from the UTG+1 and action folded around to Steven Sanchez in the big blind. Sanchez jammed for 22,000 and Phi came in over the top for 153,500. Elbers called it all off covering both stacks.

Cards on their backs
Sanchez: 6♦6♣
Phi: A♣Q♦
Elbers: A♠K♦

Sanchez was eligible for the 70,500 in the main pot but couldn't fade the A♥T♣8♠ flop.

The turn brought the 9♥ and it seemed like Elbers was about to scoop a pot of 333,500 until Phi found a lady on the river. The Q♣ dealt a massive blow to Elbers' stack and shipped the chip leading pot to Phi.

26 players remain with 14 moving on to day 2.

Seven starting flights for the $100k GTD Heatwave remain. Make sure to find a bag or even double bag for the $1,000 bonus!
