At the start of the level Phil Hellmuth an Timothy Reilly were involved in a three-bet pot that resulted in Hellmuth saying he was ready to gamble with the kids now they have just clashed again.
Hellmuth opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and Reilly three-bet to 5,800. Hellmuth made the call and it was heads-up to the flop. Hellmuth checked and Reilly checked behind. Both players checked the turn and the river and Reilly took it down with his to Hellmuth's .
"Wow, he had it this time. I'm just glad he didn't get jiggy with it because he's been playing every hand!"
Marvin Rettenmaier will not be adding WPT Malta to his list of poker accomplishments because he has been just been eliminated. He opened up in early position, Vanessa Selbst three-bet with ace-queen, Abdelkader Benhalima moved all-in for around 30,000 - also with ace-queen - Rettenmaier called with pocket jacks and Selbst folded. Rettenmaier lost the subsequent flip and is now on the sidelines have a quiz with the Royal Flush Girls about capital cities!
Erik Cajelais opened to 1,700 on the button and Tony G defended his big blind with a call. The flop came down and Tony G check-called a 1,400 continuation bet from Cajelais.
Both players then checked down the turn and river, Tony G winning the pot with his .
Kiryl Radzivonau has gotten off to a roller coaster of a start here in Malta, first dropping to 22,000 and now he is back up to almost 60,000.
It was Radzivonau who opened to 1,700 from UTG+1 and to his immediate left was Tomasz Gluszko who queried how many chips he had behind and when he was told "20 or so" moved all in. Jason Mercier then called the shove and when the action folded back to Radzivonau he moved all in and Mercier called.

"One time" said Gluszko as the dealer fanned out the flop. The turn was the and the river the and the kings of Radzivonau more than doubled up.
Phil Hellmuth is ready "to gamble with the kids" over on Table 4 and has just helped himself to a nice early pot doing so.
The action folded to the 12-time WSOP bracelet winner and he said "Raise it up" before saying "26" and raising to 2,600.
"Really?" said someone at the table.
"You kids like to raise smaller, I like to raise a little more," replied Hellmuth.
To his immediate left, on the button, Timothy Reilly three-bet to 5,400 which forced out the blinds. With the action back on Hellmuth he said, "I'll have to gamble with the kids today," before making the call.
The flop came down and Hellmuth placed his sunglasses on and checked. Reilly continued with a bet of 6,000 and Hellmuth sat staring him down for 30 seconds before check-raising to 15,000. Reilly tanked for close to two minutes before relinquishing his hand.
