Tom McEvoy Eliminated

1983 WSOP Main Event Winner Tom McEvoy
1983 WSOP Main Event Winner Tom McEvoy
Tom McEvoy was all in preflop against the wrong man. Todd Phillips has been running hot all day and this hand was no exception.

McEvoy held {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and was in bad shape against Phillips' {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The board was no help for McEvoy either, {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts},{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}

This year, at least, McEvoy will not win another WSOP Main Event Title.

Bruno Fitoussi Runs Into Tens

Bruno Fitoussi
Bruno Fitoussi
Holding 7-7, Bruno Fitoussi got all in preflop. His opponent had him in bad shape, however, holding T-T.

The flop was a disaster for Bruno, coming {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}, giving Fitoussi a gutshot straight draw. But the river {6-Clubs} was not the card he needed, and Fitoussi is now down to 100,000.

Wilkinson: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Sebok failed to improved and was eliminated. Wilkinson is now in the mix with 216,000.

Everybody's a Comedian

An exchange overheard between a floorperson and a short-stacked player while breaking a table:

Player: "Yeah . . . I need about eight racks."
Floorperson: "Eight racks?"
Player: "Yeah . . . one for each chip."

[Removed:532] Doubles Up

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Board: 6K1046

Preflop, Gene Strickland bets enough to put [Removed:532] all in. [Removed:532] calls 63,000 and shows A-A. Strickland has A-Q. The board comes and Aditya doubles to 126,000. A few hands later, he's at 175,000. Strickland's down to 110,000.
