Dennis Phillips learned a lot from last year's Final Table

I'm really liking this guy.

YouTube - Dennis Phillips: 2009 WSOP Main Event

On folding the set: 'I had the best hand. I don't care' Wat?

You think this is better for poker than whiny Phil acting like a spoiled 2 year ole eh?

Nice interview.

I didn't say anything about "better for poker".. I just like the guy.

Not sure what your problem with this statement is.

Same here.

I'm liking him a lot more this year too. I saw another interview with him on RawVegas and then another one about Ante Up For Africa and he was getting interviewed with Nelly and it was hilarious. I have to admit, last year I figured he was just another once in a lifetime player and we'd never see him again, but he's definitely proving himself this year, making it down to the last 64 again...

it turned out he had the best hand BUT with a straight and flush possible on board and a raise and reraise in front of him he knows he made the right move . he's behind a large % of the time IMO .
I completely understand the statement and agree

I think the way he analyzes the ME is exceptional.. All the key things to note he points out to the people who have never been. He seems genuiely like a nice person and he really respects the game.. Pretty cool if u ask me. I hope he wins or at least makes a final table appearance... Very nice video and thanks for posting

Yeah re-watching it, I think misinterpreted it/he explained it badly. I thought he meant that he knew he had the best hand DURING the hand itself, but folded with the fear of being sucked out on. Just a misunderstanding on my part

He seemed to play way too tight at the FT, which is understandable. Can't wait to see some of the coverage this year.

Dennis Pillips!
I hope he gets into the finale table again this year.
Hero!...

I think he's a great player, and made the right move folding the set. It was a great interview, and I also hope to see him at the final table. BEST OF LUCK TO HIM

It would be great if the final three at the final table would be Denis Phillips, Phil Ivey, and Antonio (magician).

Just having those 3 in the final table would be epic.

Antonio Esfandiari is one of my favourite poker players so him making the Final Table would be awesome! Looking to the magician to take this one down

Dennis Phillips seems like a quality guy too. Haven't seen him play, but first impression's a good one.

He's out 45th for $178,857. Good run though, just got ran over today...

3rd place in his first outing at the ME, 45th on his second outing... not bad at all.

Liking this guy too. Very calm cool and collected about what hes doing.

this guy actually is playing very solid, 45th this year nothing bad ... Im still thinking this guy will going win some soon.

THAT would be something to see!!

I like this guy too!

Looks like a good player, with some good advice how to play in tourney's. Most players just give a description about how they are doing in the tournament which is not so interesting at all.
