Keith Murrell Takes a Big Pot

[user40108]

After a raise preflop, Keith Murrell, Bernard Lee, and Tony Merksick saw a flop of {A-Clubs}

. Lee bet 6,700 from late position and Merksick folded from the cutoff. Murrell quickly raised to 15,000. Lee didn't take long to call. The turn brought the {7-Clubs}

. Lee bet 7,000 and Murrell moved all in. Murrell had Lee covered so the call was for his tournament life. Lee thought for about four minutes before finally folding {A-Spades}

face up.

Clint Lilienthal Eliminated

[user40108]

Tony Merksick limped in under the gun. Clint Lilienthal, who was next to act, raised to 3,000. Action folded over to Robert Wisiak who thought for a bit before re-raising to 10,000. Merksick folded and Lilienthal, who didn't have much more, pushed his entire stack across the felt. Wisiak called the slight re-raise and it was heads up. The players showed:

Lilienthal: {A-Diamonds}

Wisiak:

Lilienthal knew he was in a great spot to pick up some much needed chips. His mood quickly changed however when the flop came down {J-Diamonds}

. Things went from bad to worse for Lilienthal when the {9-Clubs}

came off on the turn. Lilienthal could do nothing but shrug as he headed towards the exit. Wisiak stacked the pot and seems to be on a hot streak early in Day 2.
