"What are you doing to me, Steve?" he asked at one point while running through scenarios in his head.

In the previous EPT season we watched Samuel Phillips and Andre Lettau battle it out in an epic heads up for the Barcelona title. Phillips did not win the title, but he won by far the most money. The American pro, residing in Mexico took home $1.3 million for finishing second while Lettau cashed for $1,046,420 for getting first.
Just now Phillips got knocked out from the PCA Main Event, short of the money, when he attempted to double his small stack. Wu Huinan raised under the gun to 5,600 and Michel Fardel called from the cutoff after which Phillips shoved from the button for 25,600.
The action folded back to Huinan, who tanked for a bit before folding. Fardel did some tanking as well, but eventually he pulled the trigger.
Phillips showed 
, and Fardel tabled his cards, revealing a black ace and the nine of clubs. Due to the way Fardel tabled the cards, everyone was unable to see the suit of the ace.
"Spade?" Phillips hoped, as otherwise his suits were dominated.
"Aaaah!" Phillips jokingly yelled as Fardel did indeed hold .
"How does king-queen lose here though?" Phillips continued, but the board ran out 
and he was knocked out.

The flop came 
and Greenwood continued with a bet of 32,000. Vieira took some time to make his decision, staring at Greenwood with his hand on his chin. He looked from Greenwood to the 32,000 bet and then back. Eventually he called.
The turn was the 
and Greenwood only broke his pose enough to spread the fingers on his right hand and tap them gently on the table, checking to Vieira. Vieira took his time and counted his chips out, then put them back neatly into his stack, all the while never moving his hand too far off his chin. He eventually settled on a bet of 47,200.
Greenwood's eyes flashed from Vieira to the board, to the pot then back to the board. He called.
The river was the and Greenwood checked to Vieira again. Vieira took a moment to figure out his next move and he checked slowly.
