Hand 31

Eddy Scharf
Eddy Scharf
Scharf raised to 12,000 from the button with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Frazer called from the big blind with {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Flop: {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Both players checked.

Turn: {4-Hearts}
Frazer checked, Scharf bet 18,000, but Frazer instantly moved all in with just ace high and took it down.

Hand 31: How Can He Fold?

Black raises to 10,000 with {K-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Hellmuth in the big blind, with 4,000 in the big blind and only 8,000 behind, questions for a minute what he should do.

For 99.9 percent of players, this is a mathematical no-brainer.

Hellmuth: "This is another hand where everyone else in the world calls.".

He passes!

Hand 33

Hellmuth gave away another 2,000 in the small blind, folding {8-Spades}{6-Hearts} to give Andy Black a walk.

Hellmuth now has 6,000 will be forced all in within five hands.

Hand 34

Frazer raises on the cutoff with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and takes down the blinds.

Jesse May: "Frazer's looking at Hellmuth like he's absolutely nuts."

Hand 35: Hellmuth Eliminated

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Hellmuth decides that {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} is finally good enough, moving all in for his remaining 7,000. He gets action from three players.

de Wolfe: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Scharf: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Black: {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Flop: {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Everyone checks.

Turn: {K-Hearts}
Scharf thins the field with a bet, and the other two fold.

River: {3-Hearts}

Considering the huge hit he took earlier, Hellmuth did well to hang in for one league point.

Hand 37

Frazer limps from the small blind and Black checks his option in the big blind.

{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for Frazer.
{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for Black.

Neither player puts any chips in the middle on a {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} board and Fraser wins.

Hand 39

Roland de Wolfe gets walk in the big blind.

de Wolfe has been uncharacteristically quiet throughout this heat, but to be fair there's not a lot he could have done considering what the dealers have been throwing him.
