Kevin MacPhee's strategy of buying in late didn't exactly go to plan as he's crashed out of event #29.

In Event #25: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low at the 2014 World Series of Poker, Mike Matusow was penalized for "excessive celebration" deep into the money. After being slapped with a one-round penalty, the ruling quickly became a hot topic with the poker community. PokerNews spoke with "The Mouth" about the incident to get his thoughts and reaction, and to see how it affected his play.
Will "The Thrill" Failla finished 11th in a $1,500 NLHE Event earlier today and then registered for this tournament. So far, the poker gods have been treating him well as he is one of the biggest stacks around.
In one hand we just saw him defend the big blind against a raise from early position for 1,000. On the ![]()

flop, he check-called 1,500 on the
turn and both then checked the
river. The opponent gave up the hand and Failla announced "king high" before turning over ![]()
. That was good enough to rake in the pot.
David "The Dragon" Pham is keeping touch with the chip leaders and has 52,000 chips in front of him.
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Pham is great to watch due to him tendency to run huge bluffs and pay an extremely wide range of starting hands. Now that he has stack of chips, he's likely to go even crazier so we will keep an eye on him.

Sunny Chattha climbing back towards 10,000 chips following an all-in bet that went uncalled.

board, but folded after much deliberation when Chattha raised all-in for 5,800 in total.
Chattha has 16 cashes at the World Series of Poker and career winnings in excess of $800,000.
Sean Jazayeri is still on his old table in the blue section, but he doesn't seem to be running as hot anymore. We just saw him four-bet-shove into a short stack that folded, but still he is down considerably. Same is also the case for Kristijonas Andrulis, who has been reseated as the bronze section is almost empty.
Fabrice Soulier also lost a big pot and is now below average.
Griffin Benger took advantage of late registration and starting with a short stack didn't really put him at a disadvantage judging by the fact he's now armed with 13,000 chips.
Benger is sharing a table with Eric Baldwin, but has position on him being seated to Baldwin's left.
