Dennis Phillips is an account manager for Broadway Truck Centers in St. Louis, Missouri. Being loyal to his friends in St. Louis, Dennis Phillips turned away several endorsement deals by online poker rooms to wear their hats and logos in order to continue wearing the Broadway Truck Center shirts and St. Louis Cardinals hat he had been wearing.
