Before the 2008 World Series of Poker, Dennis Phillips was a truck driver. At 53 years old, the St. Louis native had worked his way up from behind the steering wheel to behind a desk serving as an account manager for a trucking company. And now, after becoming an inaugural member of the November Nine and finishing 3rd for $4.5 million, he's simple a multi-millionaire account manager.

Prior to the final table, Phillips said, “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.”
