Alex Jacob Doubles Up

Not in a hand, mind you - he's in the $1,500 event today, which is in the Amazon Room. So he's alternating between that event and this event - except they're in different rooms, about a five-minute walk from each other!

Victoria Coren Eliminated

Razz:

Fuad Koubi completes with x-x / {2-Clubs} and Victoria Coren calls with x-x / {6-Spades}.
On fourth, Koubi bets {5-Clubs} and Coren calls all in with {10-Hearts} for her last 700.

Coren: ({8-Clubs}{3-Spades}){6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Koubi: ({A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}){2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Coren is out.

Playing Every Hand

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Razz:

Phil Hellmuth: x-x / {7-Spades}
John Juanda: x-x / {6-Diamonds}
Michael Baxley: x-x / {2-Clubs}

On third, Hellmuth bets and both call.

On fourth, Juanda bets {2-Spades}. Baxley calls {4-Hearts} and Hellmuth calls {9-Clubs}.

On fifth, Baxley bets {5-Clubs}. Hellmuth calls {6-Spades} and Juanda calls {Q-Spades}.

On sixth, Hellmuth bets {8-Hearts}. Juanda calls {Q-Spades} and Baxley calls {9-Clubs}.

On seventh, Baxley bets and Hellmuth calls. Juanda folds.

Baxley shows {2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for A-2-4-5-6 and takes the pot.

"Guy plays every hand," Hellmuth complains. He's down to 36,000 and Juanda has only 6,400.
