Dennis Phillips - Poker Player Profile

By Maria Del Mar for POKER NEWS DAILY | Posted on July 17, 2008

Dennis Phillips was a truck driver. At 53 years old, the St. Louis native has worked his way up from behind the steering wheel to behind a desk and now serves as an account manager for a trucking company. And he’s not letting his more than 26,000,000 and chip lead get to his head:

“I’m just a good solid player…nothing special… [no matter how I finish] I’ll keep playing but I’ll keep my job too.”

The bearded 53 year old has been installed as a 4 to 1 favorite to win the $9,119,338 first prize on November 9. Dennis Phillips has already guaranteed himself no less than $900,670; not a bad pay day for a guy who gained entry into the $10,000 Main Event through a $200 satellite at his local Harrah’s casino.
