Mike Gracz Advances to Round 2

It was down to heads up between Mike Gracz and Alex Katz. The flop came {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and the pair got it all in the middle.

Gracz showed {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the open-ended straight flush draw. Katz showed {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair. The turn was the {A-Hearts}, and Katz was still alive. But the river brought the {7-Diamonds}, giving Gracz the straight and the match.

Table #9: Blake Cahail 70,900, Chris Howard 29,100.

Table #3: Eugene Katchalov just won a big pot with queens versus Spencer Hudson, moving Katchalov up to 69,000 vs. Hudson's 31,000.

John Murphy Moves On

After the hand, Murphy has 70,000 and his heads-up opponent Sezgey Rejbachenko has 30,000.

John Murphy gets it all in with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against Sergey Rybachenko's {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The board comes {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Rybachenko is out. John Murphy moves on to round 2, and will hopefully get plenty of sleep this evening. (Murphy is, of course, well known for oversleeping before the 2004 WSOP Main Event final two tables.)
