Paul Phillips became Chief Technical Officer for Go2Net in 1996 and is also known as "Dot Com" for his success during the tech boom of the 90's.

Paul's biggest poker payday occured on Dec 18, 2003 when he took home $1,101,980 Five Diamond - WPT No Limit Hold'em tournament. His second biggest poker payday came on Sep 3, 2003 at the Legends Of Poker WPT Season 2 No Limit Hold'em tournament where he placed 2nd and won $293,550.

In early 2000, Phillips complained about the way the Horseshoe split entry money with players and casino employees which caused him to be banned from the World Series of Poker (WSOP). He was allowed back, but he only played one event in 2002 - the $1,500 triple draw lowball Ace to Five event in which he placed 2nd to John Juanda winning $24,820.

In 2003 Phillips didn't play in any WSOP events. He did take 1st and 2nd in two World Poker Tour (WPT) events. Even though he didn't play in the WSOP, Phillips managed to finish 2nd in the 2003 Tournament Poker Money List.
