Curtis Oliver raised to 12,000 from the small blind and Jamie Gold called from the big blind. The flop was 10♠9♦6♦.

Both players checked the flop and then again on the Q♥ turn. It was check-check once more on the 4♣ river and they both turned over their cards.

"You got it," Gold said.

"I don't know about that," Oliver responded as he turned over 8♥5♠. Gold had 8♠6♠ to take the pot with a pair of sixes.

Poseidon Crashes Into Boat

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth, who early today made a grand entrance dressed as Poseidon and surrounded by 17 mermaids, was down to just five big blinds and opened to 11,000 on the button with just 8,000 behind. Ori Eshel three-bet on the button and Hellmuth quickly called off to be at risk.

Phil Hellmuth: K♦J♥
Ori Eshel: Q♥Q♦

There was no sweat for the 17-time bracelet winner as the flop landed Q♠6♦6♠ to give Eshel a boat and have Hellmuth drawing dead.

"Good flop for you," Hellmuth said as he stood from his seat headed to the runout of A♠6♥ confirmed his elimination.

Another Break Underway

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Upon completion of level 12, the initial field of 515 has been reduced to just 169 hopefuls and they all aim to make it to the top 78 spots. During the ongoing 15-minute break, the T-500 chips will be raced off as they are no longer required for the rest of the night.

Stavila Flushes Out Martin

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kevin Martin opened to 6,000 from middle position and Dan Stavila three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff. Martin four-bet shoved for roughly 40,000 and Stavila snap-called to put Martin at risk.

Kevin Martin: Q♦Q♣
Dan Stavila: 10♣9♣

Martin was in great shape with pocket queens but the A♣6♠3♣ flop gave Stavila some outs in the form of a flush draw. The J♥ turn was clean but the flush came in on the 6♣ river to give Stavila the pot while Martin was sent to the rail.
