Shannon Shorr Takes Out Harry Cullen
Jul 17, '17
We caught up with the action on a flop of K
Q
5. It appeared as though Harry Cullen checked, and Shannon Shorr bet 1,500.
Pierre Neuville called, and Cullen then moved all-in for 13,025. Shorr thought it over for about a minute before finally making the call, and Neuville folded.
Shorr turned over AJ for the nut flush draw, which got an “uh oh” response from Cullen, who had K7 for top pair and the second nut flush draw.
The turn was the K
, giving Cullen trips, but he still needed to dodge a diamond on the river to avoid hitting the rail. The river was the 10, and Cullen celebrated his double up.
It was only after the pot was being pushed the other way that the dealer informed him that Shorr had made a straight, and Cullen got out of his chair.
“I wasn’t looking for that one,” admitted Cullen.
Shorr now has roughly 42,000 in chips.

Alan Goehring Knocks Out David Sands Because Of Harry Cullen
Jul 17, '17
Here’s a weird one for the first level of the day.
David Sands raised to 400 from under-the-gun, and was called on his immediate left by Harry Cullen. The action folded around to Alan Goehring, and he reraised to 2,000 from the small blind.
The big blind folded, and Sands decided to just make the call. Cullen then threw in a call, except he did it with too many chips.
As a result, the floor was called over to make a ruling. Because Cullen didn’t verbalize a call, and his extra chips amounted to more than half of the raise amount, he was ordered to min-raise to 3,600.
Cullen reluctantly went along with the ruling, and Goehring called the 3,600. Sensing an opportunity, Sands then moved all-in for his last 16,000 or so.
The action went back to Cullen, who said, “I still don’t understand why I had to put in more chips.”
Eventually he folded, and Goehring quickly made the call, having Sands covered. Sands showed AK, and was racing against the QQ
of Goerhing.
The board ran out Q9784 and Sands quickly headed towards the registration desk for a rebuy.
“I had 9-10 suited,” said Cullen, pointing out that he would have turned a straight draw.
Goehring now sits with 52,000 in chips. Sands has since retaken a seat in the tournament, ironically at the same table. In fact, he is still seated on Cullen’s immediate right in a previously vacant seat.

Liv Boeree Busts On Her First Bullet
Jul 19, '17
Liv Boeree late registered the event and got her stack of about 25 big blinds into the middle with 9-9 and was called by Harry Cullen’s K-K. A third player was also all in with A-Q suited. The board ran out J-J-10-2-10, giving Cullen the pot and a stack of more than 100,000. Boeree quickly re-entered for another $5,000.
