Almost Like He Knew It Was Coming

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

With all the money already in the pot, there had clearly been some bets before the flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} was dealt, but we came in as Phil Hellmuth pushed his remaining 8,500 into the pot. Two players folded leaving only the small blind who elected to call.

Hellmuth asked, "Do you have an eight?" as he flipped over {5-Spades}{6-Hearts} for nothing but a gutshot straight draw. The player shook his head and showed him one better with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Phil wasn't looking too good until his magic {4-Spades} hit the turn, securing him the double up. Phil often says, "If luck wasn't a factor, I'd win them all." Well, this time, if luck wasn't a factor he would be out, so he's gotta be thankful for that.

We caught action on a flop of {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} with the player from the big blind betting 1,400. Praz Bansi made the call.

The {6-Clubs} fell on the turn and Bansi checked. His opponent bet 4,000 and Bansi reraised all in for another 5,600. His opponent called and flipped up {4-}{4-} for a set of fours. Bansi flipped over {a-}{6-}. The river brought the {2-Hearts} and Bansi was sent to the rail.

Mizzi Makes Hero Call

Livello 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Sorel Mizzi was heads up on the button with the player in the small blind on the river. The board read {7-Spades} {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and the pot was already quite large, at least over 12,000. The small blind bet out 9,200 and Mizzi was debating a call. He tossed out chips to call and the small blind sheepishly turned over {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. Mizzi tabled {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and took the large pot, putting around 82,000.

Hellmuth Can't Handle The Nuts

We came into the hand when the river had already been dealt and the board read out {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Hellmuth had put out a bet of 3,500 from the big blind and the player on the button had re-raised to 10,000. Hellmuth tanked for no less than seven minutes as he contemplated the call, stacking and re-stacking his chips etc. Eventually he pushed the call in and the button showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a rivered nut flush. Hellmuth threw his hands up in disgust and muttered various profanities under his breath. He was only left with 1,500 or one and a half big blinds.

Two hands later, he elected to just call the big blind, but the small blind raised to 1,500 and the big blind called. Phil called too and he was all in.

The flop came out {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the small blind bet 1,500 with the big blind calling.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} which put four diamonds on the board. The small blind bet 3,500 but the big blind raised it up to 8,000 and the small blind threw it away.

The big blind showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the rivered nut flush which of course infuriated Hellmuth and he stormed off, most likely to go register the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship.

Medic Takes Down a Pot

Livello 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ted Lawson started the action by raising to 1,200 preflop on the button. The player in the small blind called and Nenad Medic reraised to 4,600 from the big blind. Lawson folded and the player in the small blind reraised all in for another 11,800 chips. Medic made the call.

Medic: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Medic now sits with 25,000 in chips.

The Magician Disappears From the Tournament

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Preflop, the player on the button raised to 3,200 and Antonio Esfandiari (who had just limped) re-raised to 8,500. The button called and they saw the {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Esfandiari bet big with 13,500 but after a bit of counting, the player on the button put 40,000 in the pot which was enough to put Esfandiari all in. He quickly called and flipped over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} to be ahead of the button player's {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}, but there were still two cards to come.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} to give the button player two pair and the {5-Diamonds} on the river was no help sending Esfandiari home.
