Phil Hellmuth:

Rodawig raised and Hellmuth called. Rodawig bet fourth before Hellmuth led out on fifth only for the chip leader to raise. Hellmuth quickly called and snap-called bets on sixth and seventh, Rodawig picked out the three to make him a 6-5-4-3-A and a straight to crack Hellmuth's trip aces.
Hellmuth was left muttering to himself about how he had freerolled Rodawig so many times and never managed to scoop him.

Racener Clinging On
Level 27
: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
John Racener has been all in twice since that last hand, both times making a low to chop the pot against Eric.
Sooner or later something is going to give, either Racener will double or we will be heads up.

Phil Hellmuth completed and John Racener made it two bets which Hellmuth called. Racener bet fourth and fifth before check-calling sixth and seventh. Hellmuth showed for a 7-5 low and ace-king-queen for the high. Good for both.
