Morgan Eliminates Rapp

[user66118]

Omaha -

Five players limp into the pot, but Jordan Morgan is lurking in the big blind, and he bumps it up to 5,600. The first limper, John-Paul Kelly, calls, as does Stefan Rapp, who is all in for his last 4,400.

The three men watch the flop bring {A-Hearts}

. Morgan bets out, and his lone live opponent folds. With a player all in, Morgan turns over his hand: {A-Diamonds}

. Rapp holds his cards up to his eyes, but does not table them.

The turn brings the {10-Hearts}

, giving Morgan a full boat, and the river {8-Hearts}

apparently does nothing to save Rapp, as he mucks his hand and heads for the door.

McKinney Out of Chips

[user66118]

Hold'em -

It took just 90 minutes of play for our overnight chip leader to fall all the way down and out of our field.

From middle position, and now working with a short stack, Stephen McKinney opened by moving all in for his last 4,200. Hilbert Shirey made the call from late position, and action folded to Sorel Mizzi in the small blind. He re-popped it, making it 12,000 to go, which was enough to isolate him against the all-in player.

McKinney turned over {6-Spades}

, and Mizzi showed down {K-Spades}

.

The board came down {2-Clubs}

, giving Mizzi the win and sending McKinney to the exit surprisingly early. After that pot, Mizzi has moved up to 34,300.
