Murphy Busts in Four-Way Affair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Four players were on a turn of 87J9. Sam Haughton checked from the small blind and Sergej Agafonov then made a bet of 5,000 from the big blind. Shaun Dooley called from middle position before Gary Murphy jammed all-in for 35,000 from the cutoff.

Agafonov made a quick call, while the other two players got out of the way, creating a heads up showdown.

Gary Murphy: 106
Sergej Agafonov: Q10

Both players turned a straight, but Agafonov had the higher one. The K river did not bring a chop, and Murphy said his goodbyes before leaving the tournament area.

Boyle Sends Goberville to an Early Exit

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Martin Boyle
Martin Boyle

Arriving on the turn on 7Q45, a massive pot of roughly 25,000 chips was already in the middle when Helen Goberville got her stack of 37,000 in the middle against Martin Boyle, who played the covering stack.

Helen Goberville: AQ
Martin Boyle: 44

Goberville was already drawing dead with her top pair, and she took her leave as the meaningless 10 completed the board. On another table, Patrick Gillespe was also ousted from Day 1e.
