Gotta give Phil some credit for running well.

"running well?" --The guy made 4 final tables last year and will probably make as many final tables this year. He has the most bracelets and cashes ever. If you noticed from the updates, he is not involved in these all-in preflop coin-flips. He plays a little differently than everyone else. In the event he just won a bracelet in, when it got down to two tables, he started getting hyper-aggressive, raising every pot. In this event, it looks like he is staying out of the way more, letting everyone else kill each other off with coin-flips.

Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. He more than doubled his stack without ever being all in. Just brilliant poker. Must be nice to "run well" for the past 20 years.
