Murphy Spazzes Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Tim Murphy
Tim Murphy

On the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}, Tim West checked and Tim Murphy bet 3,000. West check-raised to 15,000 and Murphy called.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and West bet enough to put Murphy all in. Murphy made the call for his last 20,000 or so. West tabled the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Murphy the {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The river completed the board with {6-Diamonds} and Murphy was eliminated. West climbed to 200,000 in chips.

Oops For Binger

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Nick Binger
Nick Binger

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} and the player in the small blind led out with a bet of 6,000. Nick Binger was the other man in the pot, and he quickly raised to 13,000 total, his opponent quickly calling the extra.

On the river, the {Q-Hearts} drew a check from the small blind, and Binger took his pause. He had 19,600 chips left, and he eventually bet 16,800 of them. His opponent didn't waste much time calling, and Binger immediately pushed his cards into the muck with a frown. The small blind showed up {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to win the pot, and Binger is left with just 2,800 lonely chips.

Dao Doubles Brooks

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We picked up the action heads up on a {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} flop. Gregory Brooks was under the gun, and he put out a bet of 4,200. Miller Dao raised to 8,400 in position, Brooks reraised all in for just less than 30,000 total, and Dao made the call for about half his stack.

Showdown
Brooks: {A-Spades} {4-Spades}
Dao: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Brooks had bottom pair and the flush draw, and he didn't have to wait long to catch up to Dao. The turn {8-Spades} made Brooks' flush, and the river {5-Spades} was meaningless.

Brooks is back to 60,000 now, dropping Dao down around 40,000.

Today's Schedule

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A quick update on the vitals for this Day 2. The 59 players who survived Day 1 were joined by seven new fresh faces today as 66 total players took part in this Day 2. That number has since been trimmed to 47 as we're two eliminations away from the final five tables.

Today's plan is to play down to the final 27 players, and that charge will be interrupted by a dinner break at 6:00 P.M.
