Pateychuk Sliding the Wrong Way
Andrey Pateychuk has gone the other way in two recent pots and dropped back to 26,000 in chips. The first one was against Robert Mizrachi and the second against Bryn Kenney. Both times, Pateychuk was beaten by his opponent's two pair.
Pateychuk:  /     / |
Mizrachi: /     / |
On the first hand, Pateychuk was up against Mizrachi and check-called bets on fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. When it was showdown time, Mizrachi turned up the 
for kings and sixes. Pateychuk mucked and was knocked back to 31,000 in chips.
On the next hand, Pateychuk ran into the two pair for Kenney and mucked his hand on the end. This caused Pateychuk to get kicked down to 26,000 in chips while Kenney rose to 29,000.

"Phil Hellmuth: He's the Man!"
We caught up to the table to find Phil Hellmuth absolutely steam rolling his table. With bet out with 
showing on fourth street and received one call. Hellmuth drew the 
on fifth street and his opponent's hand hit the muck faster than Hellmuth could even reach for chips.
Mike Matusow is also seated at Hellmuth's table, and busted into a chorus singing "Phil Hellmuth, he's the man! Phil Hellmuth, he's the man!"
"How ya runnin', Phil? asked Matusow. Hellmuth seemed in the zone and eager to block out Matusow's jabs as he sat motionless with his headphones on. "How ya runnin'?" continued Matusow.
"You've had five flushes, trips four times and you didn't lose one of those hands! Wait, you did lose on, to me and it was only for 1,800!" said Matusow to Hellmuth, who still sat as still as a statue.
Regardless of how well he is running, Hellmuth is arguably the biggest stack in the room right now and is certainly taking control of his table.

Matusow Gone
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The very next hand after Matusow relentlessly sent jabs toward Phil Hellmuth, Matusow found himself with all of his chips in the middle and was called by Clayton Mozdzen. Both players turned their hands up and their remaining cards were dealt.
Matusow:  /     / |
Mozdzen:  /     / |
Mozdzen made a straight and was able to scoop the pot and send Matusow to the rail.
Bendor Climbing Back

Bendor placed fourth in Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better at the beginning of the 2012 World Series of Poker for nearly $60,000.
