It's Over! Phillips is an EPT Champion! 2 months ago

After trading small pots back and forth for the last series of hands Carter Phillips has won this event in one massive hand!

Carter opened from the button and Goodwin flatted from the big blind. The flop came down Kd 5c 4h and Phillips cbet 310,000. Goodwin announced raise and made it 1,160,000. Phillips cut out the chips and thought for a moment before pushing them across the line.

The turn was the Qs and Goodwin paused for just a beat before announcing all-in. It was a huge overbet and when it was counted down we saw it totaled 4,295,000!

Phillips was stunned and clearly had a decision to make. He shook his head and went way into the tank. He tanked and tanked and tanked some more but eventually he came out with a decision, to call.

Both players were on their feet as we struggled to see the cards.

Goodwin: Ac Ts

Phillips: Kc Js

Phillips chose correctly and was just one card away from his first major win. The river cooperated with the young American, coming the 5h, and the two players shook hands over the table.

Marc Goodwin pockets €530,000 for second while Carter Phillips takes €850,000, the trophy and a seat to this season's EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo.

It's always great to see a deserving champion and Carter Phillips is certainly that. He played brilliantly from Day 1 to the last hand and earns himself the rarely awarded PL.com Attaboy!

And with that we're done in Barcelona. We are not, however, done in Europe. We'll be killing the next week on the Spanish coast before rocking it over to London for the WSOPE and EPT London. Join us then if you know what's good for you.

Blinds Up; No Action 2 months ago

Our two heads-up players are back and the blinds have been bumped to 60k/120k. Things have slowed down noticeably though as we watch them trading the blinds back and forth.

Goodwin took down the largest pot since returning, opening from the button and winning with a standard cbet on an ace-high flop.

Phillips Back on Top 3 months ago

Goodwin opened from the button and Phillips three-bet from the big blind. Goodwin called and the flop came Kc 9d 8h. Phillips followed up with an 800k cbet which Goodwin called.

The turn was the 9c and they both checked. The river was the 6c and Phillips paused before slowly pushing out 1.4 million. Goodwin seemed to freeze, looking like he wanted to call. After some more though, however, he opted to fold and Phillips takes back the chip lead.

It's about 9 million to 5 million now.

He's Back! 3 months ago

Marc Goodwin just got right back in this thing.

After a standard pre-flop raise from Carter Phillips and a call from Goodwin, the two were treated to a Tc 6c 4d flop.

Goodwin checked, Phillips bet and the savvy veteran pulled the old check-raise out of his bag making it 975k total.

Phillips made the call and when the As turn fell, Goodwin shoved. Phillips called instantly, but his 6h 2h was no match for Goodwin's Th 4h.

After the 8c river came down, Goodwin rode his two pair to a massive double that has pretty much drawn the two even in chips.

Phillips Crushing 3 months ago

Marc Goodwin opened from the button and Phillips three-bet from the big blind. The flop came Kh Js 3c and Phillips led out for 875,000. Goodwin called and the turn was the 3c.

They both checked it and the Kd hit the river. They both checked again and Phillips turned over pocket eights which were good for the over 3 million pot.

Phillips is now on almost 11 million to Goodwin's 3.5 million.

Phillips Goes Runner Runner 3 months ago

The deck certainly seems to be on Carter Phillips side at the moment as he just took down a big pot thanks to the turn and the river.

Phillips opened to 250k from the button and Goodwin called. The flop came Ad Qs 4c and Phillips cbet 275k. Goodwin called and they both checked the 7s on the turn. 

When the 7d hit the river Goodwin checked and Phillips bet 500,000. Goodwin didn't take long to call but could only shake his head when Phillips turned over J-7. 

Phillips is now on 9,695,000 while Goodwin has 4,680,000.

Splish Splash 3 months ago

Marc Goodwin's lead didn't last very long.

Carter Phillips just picked him off snatching a 2 million chip pot with naught but king-high to move back into the chip lead.

Goodwin good for the win? 3 months ago

Marc Goodwin just moved into the chip lead after what appeared to be a rather strange move by Carter Phillips.

On a board reading Ks Qs Jh 2h, the two got into a bit of a raising war with Phillips leading out for 325k, Goodwin raising it up to 775k and Carter Phillips re-raising 1,050,000 more.

"Do you want me to call?" asked Goodwin, getting nothing but silence from the American.

Eventually he did call and the river brought the Jc.

Both players checked and Phillips insta-mucked, leaving Goodwin to take the massive pot and the chip lead holding just king-nine.

Back from Dinner; Pot for Goodwin 3 months ago

The dinner break is over and on one of the first hands back Marc Goodwin has taken down a sizeable pot.

Goodwin limped from the button and Phillips made it 375,000 from the big blind. Goodwin called and the flop came Kc 8c 6h. Phillips led out for 400,000 and Goodwin called. The 3d turn slowed Phillips down and both players checked it through.

The 3c hit the river and after another check from Phillips Goodwin bet 400,000. Phillips tanked for a moment before dumping his hand.

Dinner For Two 3 months ago

The heads-up match between Marc Goodwin and Carter Phillips has started slowly, with Phillips picking up the majority of the pots thus far.

He now sits with a 2:1 chip lead holding 9,720,000 in chips compared to Goodwin's 4,665,000.

However, the conclusion of EPT Barcelona will have to wait at least 60 minutes as the players have headed off on a dinner break.

Stop - Tapas time!
