Hand 55

Tony G makes it 20,000 to go with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} from the button and Scharf reraises to 56,000 from the big blind with {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

G moves all in for his 169,000 stack. Scharf covers, but folds to the big third raise.

Hand 54

Tony G limps in the small blind with {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Kravchenko checks with {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Both players check down a board which comes {5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

Tony G's pair is good.

Hand 53: Million-Dollar Prop Bet; Hellmuth Eliminated

Hellmuth moved all in with his remaining 14,000, holding {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} on the button.

"I'm not going to look, because I'm from the street," said Tony G before making an automatic call from the big blind.

After seeing he had {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, G offered a million-dollar side bet on the outcome of the hand, but Hellmuth declined to take his 57-to-43 edge on the bet.

G speculated, "I might make a straight, that's how I feel," which might have scared the Brat.

Flop: {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}
Turn: {2-Clubs}
River: {9-Clubs}

Hellmuth may have saved a million on the hand, but he left today's game with just two points.

Hand 52

Eddie Scharf gets a walk in the big blind.

Tony G hasn't stopped sticking the needle into Hellmuth throughout this heat, especially now that the Poker Brat's stack is crippled.

Tony G: "If you keep on folding, you can never make a mistake calling with the worst hand."

Hand 51

Kravchenko raised to 28,000 with {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} on the small blind. Hellmuth said, "The whole world would call here," before throwing his hand in the muck.

Hand 50

Tony G and Annie Duke
Tony G and Annie Duke
Tony G limps in the small blind with {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Kravchenko checks with {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Both players check down a {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board. Tony G, looking for a bet from the Russian on three streets, never got one.

Hand 48: Hellmuth Calls Off Two-Thirds of Stack

Kravchenko thought for a while before folding {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on the button, not wanting to get involved against Phil Hellmuth's short stack.

With 62,000 remaining at the start of the hand, Hellmuth completed the small blind with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Scharf checked {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Flop: {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Hellmuth led for 6,000 on the flop and Scharf just called.

Turn: {5-Hearts}
Hellmuth checked and called a bet of 10,000 from Scharf.

River: {5-Clubs}
Hellmuth check-called again, for 17,000.

Hellmuth was left with just 23,000 after this hand.

Hand 47

Hellmuth gets a walk in the big blind and doesn't want to look at his cards unless it was a huge hand.

"I feel like it was {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}."

It was {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.
