Farrell Triples Up
Niveau 16
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ted Spivack shoved all in from the button and was called by Borja Kamber in the small blind with the bigger stack and Niall Farrell in the big blind with the shorter stack.
Niall Farrell: 
Ted Spivack: 
Borja Kamber: 
The board ran out 
to give Farrell trip tens for the triple-up.
After counting out Farrell's stack and paying him, Spivack had 170,000 left. Kamber paid him and then the table got broken up. On the new table, Spivack couldn't build his stack back up again and he was eliminated quite quickly after that. On another table over, Felipe Ramos was also eliminated.

Muray is Over the Moon
Niveau 15
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Carlos Muray could be heard from the other side of the room when he was at risk for his tournament life and won the hand. Jiri Horak was walking away from the table already and Victor Parreno was counting out 4,175,000 to pay Muray.
The board read 
and Muray had 
in front of him. Parreno's cards were already closed and where Horakk used to sit, 
could be seen.
