Kevin MacPhee Eliminated in 8th Place (€63,694)
Kevin MacPhee was pinned into a corner today, and he was unable to get any of his short stack into the pot through the first 34 hands. On the 35th, though, he was down to just 535,000 when the table folded to his small blind, and he moved in. Big blind Barny Boatman asked for the count, and he eventually made the call with . MacPhee's was well behind, but he did have to live cards to try and chase down a winner.
The flop was a miss for MacPhee, but the turn gave him at least a little bit of a sweat. He was looking for a four, five, six, or seven to stay alive.
River: .
It's a big disappointment to most in the room, and the EPT certainly wanted to see one of their champions grab a second trophy. But this is the end of the line in San Remo for MacPhee, eliminated 8 spots shy of that goal. He'll take more than €60,000 home for his work this week, and we're guessing it will be of little consolation today. Hopefully he'll feel better when he wakes up with that money on his nightstand in the morning.
