G.O.A.T.

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Phil Ivey

"I'm just going to call you G.O.A.T.," said Danny Johnson after he saw Phil Ivey join his table in the purple section of the Amazon Room. "Yup, G.O.A.T. That's what I'm going to call you — greatest of all time."

Ivey smiled while he removed the chips from the rack he transferred them over with — about 220,000 worth — while Johnson kept informing him that he was going to continue to call him "G.O.A.T." for the rest of their time together.

The Inaugural National Champion Falls

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Sam Barnhart after winning the National Championship in 2011.
Sam Barnhart after winning the National Championship in 2011.

Back in 2011, Arkansas' Sam Barnhart had a dream year. It started when he won the 2010/2011 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Tunica $1,600 Main Event for $148,612, a victory that came off a decision to play a last-minute satellite. Not only was it a big payday, it also came with a seat into the inaugural National Championship, which was held at Caesars Palace prior to the WSOP.

Well, Barnhart managed to win that tournament for $300K and a gold bracelet. As if that wasn't good enough, Barnhart jumped in that year's Main Event and made a deep run, ultimately finishing in 17th place for $378,796. Needless to say, it was a life-changing experience for the man from Little Rock.

Since then, Barnhart has relocated to Las Vegas and has made poker his career. He managed to notch four cashes at the 2014 WSOP, and he was hoping to replicate the Main Event experience he had three years ago. Unfortunately, any hope of that happening just came to an end.

We missed Barnhart's elimination hand, but we do know that he fell to Darren Rabinowitz. Barnhart had backdoored a Broadway straight with {a-}{k-}, but it was no good as the same card gave Rabinowitz a flush.

"I thought I played it great," Rabinowtiz joked.

O'Rourke Holding Steady

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Gavin O'Rourke is a little bit up on his starting stack, but he lost a few in a recent hand when he defended his big blind after an early position raiser opened for 1,400.

The flop was {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and O'Rourke check-called a 1,800 bet. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and O'Rourke check-called a bet of 5,300. The river brought the {j-Diamonds} and when O'Rourke checked a third time, his opponent thought for a while before betting 6,200. O'Rourke wasted no time in mucking his cards.

Mueller Continues to Chip Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Greg Mueller opened for 1,300 from early position and received a call from the player in the cutoff. Mueller continued for 1,300 on the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, the cutoff called, and the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}.

Mueller slowed down with a check, but called when his opponent bet 2,200. Mueller then checked for a second time on the {2-Spades} river and the cutoff bet 3,000. Mueller sprung to life with a check-raise to 9,000, and his opponent immediately called. Mueller rolled over the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a straight, and it was good as his opponent mucked.

Trips For Wasserson

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,300, John Dolan called from the next seat over, and Eric Wasserson defended his big blind.

They checked to the turn of a {4-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades} board where Wasserson bet 2,800. Only the player in middle position called to see the {A-Diamonds} river. Wasserson bet 7,000 and was quickly called by his opponent who showed {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. Wasserson, though, had that beat with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Patel Runs Into Trips

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

The board read {5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} when we watched Kunal Patel check over to his lone opponent on the button. Patel's opponent checked it back and the {A-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. Patel reached for chips and dropped 5,900 into the middle.

Patel's opponent thought for well over one minute before coming over the top with a raise to 12,300. It was Patel's turn to think, and he did so for roughly a minute before moving out a call. Patel's opponent showed {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for trip aces and the win. Patel mucked his hand and he's now down to about 97,500.
