Murphy Wins Battle Against Cameron

Erick Torres

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Richard Murphy raised to 110,000 from the button. Wesley Cameron asked for more and raised to 300,000 from the big blind. Murphy proceeded with a call to head to a flop.

Cameron fired 175,000 on the J♣8♥Q♣ flop and was called again by Murphy.

The 5♥ turn was met with a check from Cameron, and Murphy chose to fire 200,000. Cameron stayed in the hand with a call.

Cameron checked on the 2♠ river before Murphy announced all in. Cameron quickly folded and Murphy dragged in the pot.

Eliot Thomas

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu will not defend his $50,000 Poker Players Championship crown after being knocked out of the event by none other than Phil Hellmuth.

Negreanu, who ended a decade-long bracelet drought when he won last year's event for $1,178,703, would see his tournament end on Day 3 this year, after the seventeen-time bracelet winner Hellmuth made a Queen-high flush to send Kid Poker to the rail.

Farha Faces the Silent Assassin

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Sammy Farha raised under the gun to 125,000 before Richard Jutte, on his direct left, went all in for 1,120,000.

Farha was trying to get a read immediately, ignoring the rest of the table, and trying to get Jutte to engage with him:

"I think I got you right now... I might have to send you home. Maybe you'll send me home..."

When it did fold back to Farha, he asked the dealer if he could show his cards to Jutte and proceeded to show Jutte the 5♥5♦, thinking he'd been given permission but the dealer hadn't given him a response. This is against the rules so the dealer ultimately killed Farha's hand. Jutte flashed the K♥K♦ before collecting the pot.

Jutte is a player based out of the Pacific Northwest and is known as "The Silent Assassin" in his region. He has Parkinson's and this makes it difficult for him to raise his voice — he speaks in a whisper when he does converse. However, he's no stranger to confrontation on the felt, hence his nickname,

For all of Farha's speech play, Jutte may be one of the most difficult in the field to get a read on as he quietly sits there and grinds on.

"Normally, I get mad when I lose a pot but I like you, I don't want to lose you", Farha said as the dealer started to pitch the next hand.

Ratkovich Scores Huge Double Knockout

Erick Torres

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lea Wolfe opened the hand with a jam from the hijack for 475,000. The table folded to Stuart Pfeifer in the small blind, who popped it to 1,100,000. Thomas Ratkovich called the raise from Pfeifer to head to a flop paying for a side pot heads up.

The flop came down 5♦9♦10♦ and Pfeifer responded with an all-in. Ratkovich checked his cards before calling to send all three players into a showdown.

Lea Wolfe: 8♣8♦ All in
Stuart Pfeifer: K♦K♠ All in
Thomas Ratkovich: A♦K♥

Pfeifer got it in with the best hand, but Ratkovich held the best draw as Wolfe was left drawing to two outs to stay alive. The 3♦ turn was just the card Ratkovich was looking for as he hit the nut flush. The Q♥ on the river was of no consequence as Ratkovich scooped a massive pot and knocked out both Wolfe and Pfeifer in the process.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stewart Morrison

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Victor Stauffer raised in middle position to 100,000, and when action got to Zaher Sayegh on the button, he moved all in for 470,000. Stauffer was the only player to call, and the players revealed their cards.

Zaher Sayegh: 6♣6♥ All in
Victor Stauffer: 9♦9♣

Sayegh received immediate service on the 7♦3♣6♦ flop, but Stauffer picked up more ways to retake the lead on the 8♠ turn.

The river favoured Sayegh on this occasion, coming the A♣, ensuring he kept the lead and found the unlikely double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Victor Stauffer	1,185,000 475,000	475,000
Zaher Sayegh	1,065,000 913,000	913,000

Erick Torres

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The hand began when Everett Carlton raised from the button to 100,000 and was called by Gary Bain from the big blind.

Bain checked the flop of 4♥2♥10♦, which led to a bet of 80,000 from Carlton. Bain called to see a turn.

The 7♠ turn caused Bain to lead out for 150,000, but Bain immediately faced an all-in raise from Carlton. Bain quickly mucked his hand as Carlton was awarded the pot.
