Dennis Phillips Lucky Coin

Dennis Phillips, the chip leader heading into the World Series of Poker (WSOP) final table on ESPN tonight, has quite the story to tell. He’s holding a lucky coin that has traveled the world, literally. It’s saved the life of a man during World War 2 and the Vietnam war. While he was hoping the worn little coin would bring him a victory, he donked off his remaining chips to Peter Eastgate while playing three handed and took home third place money instead.

We really like to poke fun at people here at Twisted but Dennis seems to be a pretty stand up guy. He’s donated to charity and been a pretty good ambassador to poker so far. If he does slip though, you can bet we’ll pile on with the rest of ‘em.
