Clements Decreases

The action folded around to Scott Clements who raised from the button before his opponent in the big blind shoved over the top with {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Clements called, meekly showing {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Both players paired up on the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades}, but the opponent's aces held all the way as the turn and river ran out {10-Hearts}, {4-Hearts} to double up. Clements is down to almost 180,000 in chips as a result.

Hellmuth Wins a "Really Big Pot"

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Action folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind and he completed. Terrence Valenzuela was in the big blind and checked. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and all Hellmuth had to do was announce a bet before Valenzuela quickly folded.

"Hold the cards! Hold the cards! Hold the cards!" said one of the production team members into his headset. The dealer didn't muck the two hands and then one of the other production members pushed the hands back to each player and began putting the mini camera on the top for Hellmuth and Valenzuela to show in order to record the hole cards.

"You really wanna see my hand when I limped the small blind?" Hellmuth said. Then as he was showing the cards to the camera, he sarcastically commented, "This was a really big pot!"

Park Taxing the Table

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

On the turn of a {5-Spades} {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} board, we watched Brian Park bet 50,000, then call an opponent's check-shove of 115,600 total. Mr. Opponent had {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}, but Park's {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} had him drawing dead to four outs.

The river was the {2-Clubs}, and another knockout moves Park up into second place overall with about 1.13 million.

The Tao of Freddy

Freddy Deeb

Jon "Apestyles" Van Fleet has been eliminated, getting the last of his chips in following a {6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop while holding {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} and running into Freddy Deeb's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and river the {2-Diamonds}, and Van Fleet is out.

"You run good," said Deeb's neighbor. "I always run good," he replied. Someone from across the table said something about getting lucky, and Deeb had a response to that as well.

"I mean, look," he said. "We're all trying to get lucky. Look at all of these people," he waved to the packed Amazon room. Then, after a moment, another thought occurred to the two-time WSOP bracelet winner. "We're all lucky to be here in the first place," he said. "It doesn't matter how far we go." The table agreed.

Be it by luck or other means, Deeb has had a most fortunate day thus far. He's sitting at 280,000 now.

Calling the Clock

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Robert Varkonyi opened from under the gun, and the action folded to Marvin Rettenmaier who three-bet to 15,600 on the button. Varkonyi four-bet to 45,000, and Rettenmaier went into the tank.

"Do you know how much you started the hand with?" Rettenmaier asked him.

"I have about one-fiften, one-twenty behind," Varkonyi responded.

Rettemaier then moved all in, sending Varkonyi into the tank.

"What do you think?" Varkonyi asked him. "Another big pot?"

Rettenmaier sat silently, and eventually the clock was called on Varkonyi. As the clock ticked down, the 2002 Main Event Champion mucked {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} face-up. Rettenmaier showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and raked in the pot.

Check It Down

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

A player opened to 7,200 from under the gun, Jake Cody called in the hijack seat, and the flop fell {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Both players checked. The turn was the {j-Hearts}, and the two knuckled again. The {q-Spades} completed the board, the action went check-check again, and Cody's opponent turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a set of jacks.

Cody nodded, acknowledging that his opponent had the best hand, then mucked his own.

It's All Saul, But Watch Out For Musumeci

We just managed to pick up the action between Kevin Saul and Amanda Musumeci on a board that read {7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}; Saul fired out 27,800 on the river, which put Musumeci into the tank for some time before she eventually laid her hand down.

Though it may have seen Saul's stack soar to almost 800,000, it was reported to us that apparently Musumeci managed to pick off one of Saul's bluffs earlier on in the evening to stack up to more than 400,000. As it stands, she's still on a healthy 360,000.

Hinkle Dodges Schaff's Monster

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

We picked up the action on the flop as the dealer spread out a {K-Clubs} {A-Spades} {4-Spades} to start. Austin Schaaf was the bettor, and he made it 36,000 to go. Blair Hinkle called, and Schaff checked to him him on the {9-Hearts} turn. Hinkle took his cue to bet 77,000, and Schaff called. On the {3-Hearts} river, Schaff check-called another bet, 115,000 this time.

Hinkle could be forgiven if he thought his {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} was good. It wasn't. Schaff showed down the surprise {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, and his set of kings bumps him all the way up to 560,000. For Hinkle, it's a setback to 365,000 or so, but he's likely content to get off as cheaply as he did with those strong hands colliding.

You Can't Say I'm Tight

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Freddy Deeb is not tight
Freddy Deeb is not tight

When were reached Table 362, Freddy Deeb had an opponent all in and at risk preflop.

Deeb: {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

"That's how I run," the player lamented in a thick southern accent, then left the tournament area.

Apparently the player was short, and when he three-bet shoved over Deeb's open, he was already pot committed.

"I didn't look that time," Deeb said after the hand. "Decided to gamble one time."

"So that's what you're raising with, huh?" a player asked.

"Well," Deeb responded. "You can't say I'm tight."
