Although he is not a well-known commodity on the poker circuit, Phillips proved he has the fortitude to play with the game’s biggest guns after he went deep in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Despite facing a field full of potential landmines, Phillips finished in 186th place, earning $36,626 and the honor of being the last celebrity standing in the WSOP Main Event.
Despite having a heavy professional schedule and handling the demands that come with being a father, Phillips tries to play when he has free time, playing mostly in the greater Los Angeles area. despite being a movie star, the humble Phillips often plays smaller buy-in tournaments instead of $10,000 buy-in events such as the WSOP Main Event. This may change after his 2009 showing.
