Liberto Applies Pressure

Livello 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Picking up the action on the flop, Justin Liberto in the cutoff was involved in a hand with Igor Yaroshevskyy in the small blind. With the board reading 8♠4♣J♣ Yaroshevskyy had a bet of 70,000 in front of him.

Liberto responded by moving all in with the covering stack. Yaroshevsky took his time deciding what to do, so much so that eventually a clock was called on him. Barely had the floorman reached the table before the Ukrainian mucked his holding to leave himself short while sending more chips Liberto's way.

Hellmuth Uses His White Magic

Livello 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth limped under the gun, Cedric Schwaederle called on the button and Eric Baldwin completed in the small blind. Steve Zolotow checked his option in the big blind and four players saw the flop.

On a board of J♥A♦6♥, the action was checked to Hellmuth, who bet out for 20,000. Schwaederle called and both Baldwin and Zolotow folded.

The 3♠ turn checked through to the 6♦ on the river. Hellmuth checked once more and Schwaederle placed a bet of 52,000, sending Hellmuth into the tank.

"This is where you make all the monies" Hellmuth told himself aloud. "This is why you're Phil Hellmuth, right here!" he continued. After some time in the tank, he chose to fold.

Hellmuth told both PokerNews and his table that he had in fact limped pocket kings that hand.

Milliard-Feral Makes a Big Call

Livello 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Barak Wisbrod raised under the gun to 25,000, Julian Milliard-Feral called on the button and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 100,000 from the big blind. Only Milliard-Feral continued.

O'Connor slowed down on a flop of 8♣10♣9♣, check-calling a bet of 45,000 from Milliard-Feral.

The 9♠ turn checked through to the 9♦ on the river.

O'Connor quickly bet out 300,000. Milliard-Feral thought for some time before committing nearly two-thirds of his stack with a call. O'Connor sighed before mucking his cards. Milliard-Feral opted to do the same before claiming the pot.
