Regardless of who wins the tournament, Kevin MacPhee wins at life. Even if he busts in 9th, his girlfriend and former EPT San Remo winner Liv Boeree will be there to comfort him. Must be nice.
WSOPE Main Event champion Elio Fox's run-good finally came to an end on Day 5, and he busted in 23rd place. Fox should still be proud of his excellent performance in back-to-back tournaments.
