MacPhee No More

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a series of raises before the flop, Kevin MacPhee found himself all in and at risk against Morris Barrett. MacPhee tabled {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} but was crushed by Barrett's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} which gave little hope to MacPhee. The {10-Diamonds} hit fourth street, leaving MacPhee searching for a jack on the river to stay alive. Alas, the {2-Clubs} finished off the board and MacPhee made a quick exit from the tournament area.

Cowboys For Raskin

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We arrived at the table to find a short stacked player all in and at risk before the flop for what looked to be around 16,000. The player held {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} and was in dire need of help against Micah Raskin's {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Raskin's kings held up as the board fell down {J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

"Was there an ace out there?" Raskin asked the player seated to his right as he stacked his new chips. "There's always an ace out there when I have pocket kings."

Despite the presence of an ace, Raskin scooped up the pot and boosted his stack to around 70,000.

Moolhuizen Does it Without Showdown

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dutch pro Mateusz Moolhuizen, winner of Unibet Open Malta in 2011, just raked in a big pot without showdown bumping his stack up to 90,000.

The player under the gun raised to 700 and a player in middle position called. Moolhuizen was seated in the cutoff and he three-bet to 2,400. The initial raiser made the call and now the player who had initial called 700 kicked it up to 5,800.

Moolhuizen came right back over the top making it 13,000 and the initial raiser folded. The other player called and the flop ran out {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Moolhuizen fired 16,000 into the pot and his opponent called. On the turn the {4-Hearts} hit and it was checked to Moolhuizen again who moved all in this time around for 28,000.

Moolhuizen's opponent tanked for a long time before ultimately tossing his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} face up into the muck.
