Hellmuth Freerolling

Phil Hellmuth was under the gun and raised to 45,000. Vineet Pahuja pushed all in for 104,000 total and Hellmuth made the call.

Hellmuth: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Pahuja: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

It was looking like a chopped pot when the flop and turn came {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Suddenly Hellmuth was freerolling for a club flush. Unfortunately for him, the river was the {9-Diamonds} and the two chopped the pot.

"This guys playing every hand. I coulda bad beat him," Hellmuth explained.

Andrew Cohen- 20th
Andrew Cohen- 20th

Daniel Wjuniski was all in with {7-}{8-} on a flop of {4-}{5-}{8-} against Andrew Cohen's {Q-}{Q-}. Cohen was in great shape until an {8-} hit on the turn. The river blanked and Wjuniski took down a pot worth 900,000 pot.

The next hand, Cohen pushed all in with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was called by David Aue's {A-}{5-}. Cohen couldn't improve and he was eliminated in 20th place from the tournament. The former bracelet winner will take home $16,275 for his efforts.

Wjuniski Squeezes

David Aue raised to 45,000 under the gun and had Scott Vener reraised to 145,000. Daniel Wjuniski, who was in the small blind, took his time before pushing all in for a total of 439,000.

Aue folded and action was back on Scott Vener, who went into the tank. After a minute or two, Vener folded {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} face up. Wjuniski slid his cards into the much and added another 200,000 to his stack.

Protecting the Home

Pascal LeFrancois made it 65,000 before Jared Michelizzi, bumped it up to 130,000. LeFrancois thought about it for a few seconds before saying, "Show me jacks if I fold?"

Michelizzi nodded and LeFrancois pushed his cards over to the muck. While he did that, Michelizzi said, "You might not be happy you folded."

Scott Vener piped up and said, "Nice way to protect our home. That's my guard dog."

On the Road Again

With the bust out of Raymond Geary, we're down to two tables and we're taking a stroll across the Amazon Room to the orange section, where one of the tables will be on the feature table. Be back in a few.
