Morgan, Minetti Out Early on Day 6
by Brett on 07.13.09, 4:09 pm
Jordan “iMs0lucky0″ Morgan’s table broke during the first level and he joined a new table with Theo “pittrounder” Tran, Craig “craigthedeac” Boyd and Owen “ocrowe” Crowe. Unfortunately his visit was short-lived.
With the blinds at 8K/16K with a 2K ante Tim Kahlmeyer raised preflop and Morgan re-raised to 150K. Kahlmeyer put in a 4-bet and Morgan moved all in, with his opponent quickly calling:
Morgan: A
K
Opponent: Q
Q
The ESPN crew came over to watch the dealer reveal the J6552 board. Kahlmeyer rushed over to shake Morgan’s and the tournament staff announced Jordan’s exit in 173rd place for $36,626. The tournament chip leader, Warren Zackey, replaced Jordan at the table.
Mike “MikeSix” Minetti was the second player eliminated today. We weren’t able to catch the hand but Minetti earned $36,626 for his 184th place finish.
Meanwhile, Clayton “Clayton_27″ Newman, seated at the featured table today, is up to 1.3 million already after starting the day at 244,000. He’s been opening several pots preflop and winning without showdowns to place himself back in contention.
Our access on the floor is a bit restricted today but we’ll continue to do our best to bring you all of the double ups, bustouts, chip counts and the best possible coverage of Day 6 at the Main Event.
