Murphy Eliminated With Big Slick Against Big Slick

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

A short-stacked Dean Murphy moved all in for 37,600 and one to his left, Shawn Buchanan, moved all in as well having Murphy covered. Both players turned over Big Slick with Murphy's being suited in diamonds and Buchanan's being suited in spades.

"Put some diamonds out there. Let me have some fun," Murphy said, to no one in particular.

"Red, red, red," he continued as the dealer put out anything but red on the {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. Murphy had a look of distress on his face but the turn card was a safe one as it was the {8-Hearts}.

The river, however, would give the pot to Buchanan as it was the {3-Spades}.

"Sick," said a frustrated Murphy as he left the table.

George Lind was at the table and said after Murphy had left "it's so hard not to laugh when something like that happens."

Seiver Eliminated

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

A short-stacked Scott Seiver moved all in first to act from middle position for 37,300. Emrah Cakmak isolated from late position by putting out a reraise to 100,000 and the remaining players folded. Seiver held {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and would need some help against Cakmak's {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Seiver grabbed his things as he was eliminated from the tournament.

Grospellier Flop Raise Takes it Down

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Leonardo Emperador bet 13,000 on the flop of {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} with approximately 30,000 in the pot and Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier raised it to 26,500. Emperador thought for a moment and decided against tangling with the well-known pro. Grospellier has dropped a bit since the start of the day but still has a close to average stack with 176,500.

Piche Picks One Up

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

On the {Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Nathan Michael Piche checked, and Daniel Strelitz bet 7,500. Andre Akkari called, and then Piche also called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and all three players checked to see the {4-Clubs} land on the turn. Piche led with a bet of 25,000, and both of his opponents folded.

Beach Workout with Tito Ortiz and Liv Boeree

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

On a beautiful sunny morning in the Bahamas UFC Legend and Bellator fighter Tito Oritz showed us a bit of what his training looks like. Ortiz punished his students with some lunges, sit ups, push ups, burpees and sprints to show that getting into great shape isn't as easy as it sounds.

More Helder

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We got to the table with a sizable pot of 100,000 already in the middle and the board showing {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Uwe Ritter checked to Jason Helder who put out a bet of 25,000. Ritter thought for over a minute before folding his hand.

Helder, who won the $1,000,000 first place guarantee at the Winstar River tournament last year, is moving upwards thus far today and was at 280,000 after dragging that pot.
