Dennis N. Phillips (born c. 1955) is a poker player and an account manager for Broadway Trucks, a commercial trucking company in St Louis, Missouri. Phillips qualified for the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event through a $200 satellite tournament at Harrah's St. Louis, his local Harrah's casino.[1] He entered the final table as chip leader with 26,295,000 in chips, and finished in third place, earning $4,517,773.[2]

In his final hand, chip leader Peter Eastgate, with more than 62 million in chips, raised Phillips in the big blind 1.5 million in chips, Phillips called and the flop brought J♣ 3♠ 4♦. Eastgate, first to act, bet 1.5 million in chips, Phillips then raised the rest of his 14.4 million, all-in, and was called instantly by Eastgate, holding 3♦ 3♣ for a set of 3s to Phillips 9♥ 10♣. Phillips did not get the running straight cards necessary to win the hand, eliminating him in third place.[3]

In the 2009 World Series of Poker Phillips followed his third place finish by finishing 45th, earning $178,857. Phillips also took third place in the 2010 NBC National Heads-Up Championship in Las Vegas for $125,000.[4]

As of 2011, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,000,000.[4]
