Playing Aggressively with Dale Philip
PokerStars Team Online Pro Dale Philip has a decent stack and he’s not content to sit back and wait for premium hands.
Philip opened Under The Gun for 6,000 and faced a raise to 12,400 from Patrick McCann. Philip checked how much McCann had behind, about 130,000, and four-bet to 28,000. McCann called.
The dealer put out a flop of 
. Philip lead for 20,000, McCann folded and the pot was pushed to the online pro.
Two hands later Grazziano Pirovano opened for 6,000 and Philip, from the small blind raised to 15,600. It won him the pot.
Philip didn’t have it all his own way though. Pirovano opened again for 6,000 and this time Philip elected to call allowing David Gutierrez Lebron from Spain, in the big blind, to put in the extra relatively cheaply.
The flop was 
. All three players checked. The turn was 
and Lebron led for 6,800. Pirovano folded but Philip called with position.
The river was a [4]. Lebron checked, Philip checked. Philip was pretty surprised when Lebron showed the [4c 5] but it was enough to win the pot.
