MacPhee Claims Another Scalp
Kevin MacPhee is up to 500,000 chips after sending Dmitry Bayramov to the rail in a hand just now.
Andreas Vlachos opened the betting with a raise to 13,500 from the cutoff only to hear Bayramov announce "I am all-in," whilst moving his stack forward. The small blind got out of the way but MacPhee asked how much the all-in bet was for. 113,000 came the reply from the dealer.
"I'm all in as well," said MacPhee, "360" referring to his stack size. Vlachos played up a little for the cameras but after a quick squeeze of his stress-ball he let his hand go.

MacPhee sat looking away from the pot, almost as if he was gauging where he was in the hand based on the reaction of Bayramov. He must have been pleased to see Bayramov exhale deeply when the flop came down 
. The 
was the turn card followed by the 
on the river and with that Bayramov was busted out, MacPhee shook his hand and Bayramov headed to the cashier's desk to pick up his winnings.
