Hand 66: "Hand Shuffle!"

The shuffling machine on the TV table is busted.

Devilfish: "I've got a chance now. We've got a hand shuffle with my lucky dealer."

Tony G picks up {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and moves all in. Everyone folds.

Cardboard Box

Jesse May: "Roland de Wolfe has played exactly the same way that a cardbox box would. You have to admit the box would have a better poker face."

Hand 69

Hellmuth completed the small blind with {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Devilfish checked {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and both checked.

Turn: {J-Clubs}
Devilfish bet 10,000 and Hellmuth called.
Devilfish said, "I know I have the {5-Clubs}, is that any good?"

The river exposes Devilfish's lie: {5-Clubs}.
After much laughter, they both check and split the pot.

Hand 70: More Pain for de Wolfe and Helppi

Hellmuth folds {8-Spades}{9-Spades} on the button.

Devilfish moves all in from the small blind with {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for 97,000 and Juha Helppi calls with {A-Spades}{10-Spades}, leaving him with just 43,000.

Board: {6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Devilfish doubles up.

de Wolfe: "This place is a f***ing set-up."

Incredible bad luck for both Helppi and de Wolfe.

Hand 71

Roland de Wolfe passed under the gun before he had received his second card.

Hellmuth limped in with {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Black checked {A-Spades}{2-Spades} in the big blind.

Flop: {4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Hellmuth bet 10,000 and won the pot.

Hand 72: Helppi Doubles Up

Hellmuth raised to 30,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Helppi found {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, moving all in for 38,000. Hellmuth made the call.

The sixth chance for de Wolfe to get to the final table.

Flop: {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Turn: {9-Hearts}
River: {2-Hearts}

Helppi doubles up, and de Wolfe is left with 13,000, desperately hoping that somebody busts out in the next five hands.

Hand 73: de Wolfe OUT

Phil Hellmuth moved all in for 134,000 with {10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} from first position.

Roland de Wolfe with his small blind in only has 8,000 behind and he wakes up with {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}. He makes the call.

Tony G in the big blind has a tough decision with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Hellmuth: "I want you to call."
Tony G: "Why?"
Hellmuth: "I think I have the best hand but if I don't, I also think I'll outdraw you."
Tony G: "I'll lay it down."

Hellmuth: "I'm kind of rooting for you Roland."
de Wolfe: "Can you muck then?"

Flop: {6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and de Wolfe is still ahead.
Turn is the {3-Clubs} giving Hellmuth a flush draw.
River is the {J-Clubs} and a backdoor flush for Hellmuth eliminates Roland.

Roland de Wolfe's pot plant strategy almost paid off, but he is out in incredibly unlucky circumstances.

Hand 74: Helppi Crippled

Juha Helppi
Juha Helppi
Helppi moved all in for 91,000 with {A-Hearts}{9-Spades} and got called by Andy Black with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

Flop: {4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Turn: {8-Clubs}
River: {5-Diamonds}

Juha is crippled but not quite out. He is left with 9,000 in chips -- less than a big blind.
