Murphy's Day Come to an End

Kevin Murphy was crippled when he held {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and called his opponent's all-in bet of 54,000 on a flop of {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. His opponent held {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and the board ended up running out {9-Clubs} and {5-Clubs}. That left Murphy with just 41,000.

On the very next hand, Hans Winzeler limped on the button and Murphy raised to 23,000 from the small blind. Winzeler made the call and watched the flop fall {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Murphy moved all in for his last 18,000 and Winzeler reluctantly made the call.

Winzeler: {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Murphy: {2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}

Surprisingly Winzeler was ahead with sevens, but Murphy had a lot of out. Unfortunately for the at-risk player, both the {9-Hearts} turn and {A-Diamonds} river blanked. A series of unfortunate events has resulted in Murphy being eliminated.

Bad Luck For Patel

Joseph Ressler raised it up to 14,000 from late position and Emil Patel re-raised to 63,000 on the button. Ressler then re-potted it and Patel did the same until he was all in.

Patel: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Ressler: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to give Patel his flush draw and Ressler a pair of kings. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Patel got his flush but Ressler sat with two pair. The river was the {9-Spades} to give Ressler the full house and score the knockout of Patel. An unlucky beat for Patel who was ahead the whole way, but that is the nature of PLO.

Ressler jumps up to 550,000 after the hand

Beware the Devilfish

David "Devilfish" Ulliott
David "Devilfish" Ulliott

Emil Patel raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and David "Devilfish" Ulliott looked him up from the small blind. Both players checked the {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, which lead to the {J-Clubs} on the turn. Devilfish check-called a bet of 12,000, which he followed up with a 22,000 bet on the {8-Hearts} river. Patel released and Ulliott flashed the {A-Hearts}.

On the very next hand, Devilfish raised to 13,000 and David Callaghan called from the big blind. Callaghan then turned around and led out for 18,000 on the {7-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. The Devilfish asked for a count and then potted to 87,000. Callaghan folded his hand while Ulliott showed {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a massive wrap and flush draw.

"Pretty good flop. Let's rock n' roll," Devilfish said with a wink.

Can I Have A New Seat Please?

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

We never envy a player who has to endure the daunting task of having Vanessa Selbst to their left. We also never envy a player who has Selbst to their left in a shorthanded PLO game where Selbst has a boat load of chips. Unfortuantly for Jared Bleznick, he is the player in that exact position, and he knows how tough its going to be. He called the floor offer, and said "I will give you $10,000 right now to give me a new seat!" The floor and everyone at the table laughed, except for Bleznick that is, who seemed ready to go through with the bet.

Mercier Takes Out Kivelio

Bror Kivelio has been short stacked and playing tight for quite a while, but he finally got it all in on a flop of {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} against Jason Mercier.

Mercier: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Kivelio: {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board read out in the end {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Mercier's straight took out Kivelio. He lost some after his big knockout of Jeff Lisandro, but after the knockout of Kivelio he's back up to 560,000.
