Chop Again

Steve Jelinek opened the pot with a 105,000-chip raise on the button and Mandy Thomas called in the big blind.

The flop ran out {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Mandy moved all in, Jelinek called.

Showdown
Jelinek: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Thomas: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The turn card was a {8-Spades} and the river brought a {2-Diamonds} to the felt. Chopped pot!

Steve Jelinek raised from the cutoff to 105,000 an then Ryan Karp reraised all in from the big blind. Jelinek made the call and was actually the player all in, having less chips to begin the hand. He held the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Karp held the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Jelinek made a wheel on the turn to scoop the entire pot and double up. He now has over 500,000 in chips while Karp dropped to 50,000.

Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 7th Place ($30,633)

Phil Hellmuth raised and then John Gottlieb reraised. Hellmuth made the call and was all in. Hellmuth held the {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. He was up against the {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for Gottlieb.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Gottlieb stayed in front. "Keep 'em high dealer!" he yelled out.

The turn brought the {10-Clubs} and then the river the {9-Diamonds}. Both of those weren't what Hellmuth needed and he was sent packing in seventh place for over $30,000 in winnings.

"He woke up with aces. I raise once and he wakes up with aces!" Phil complained as he exited from the final table.

Goodbye Team PokerStars

There are no more Team PokerStars badges on the sleeves of any of the players at the final table because they are all out. Mandy Thomas from Team PokerStars Online was the last to go representing her team.

She may be the last team member to leave the final table, but there is still one Team PokerStars Pro hanging round the feature table arena. Team Pro USA member Jason Mercier is seated up in the stands with Al Bari and some other friends railing Ben Lamb. As long as Lamb is here, Mercier will be here decked out in his Team Pro badges.
