Arieh's Table Three-Handed

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Josh Arieh cut out a raise from the small blind and found a call from his opponent in the big blind. The flop came down {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Arieh fired out 1,100. his opponent called and the {8-Diamonds} hit the felt on the turn. Both players checked and the {A-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Arieh moved out a river bet of 3,100 and his opponent tossed out a call, rolling over {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of queens. Arieh mucked his hand and the pot was pushed toward his opponent. Despite this hit, Arieh is still sitting healthy with about 24,500 in chips.

Both Erick Lindgren and Jason Koon, who were once Arieh's table mates, have been eliminated from play.

Hellmuth Flops Two Pair

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind and he popped it up to 600. The big blind called the raise and the two took a flop of {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Hellmuth continued his aggression with a bet of 800. His opponent called.

Fourth street brought the {3-Clubs} to the felt and Hellmuth fired 3,000. His opponent called once more and the {8-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. The action went check-check and the PokerBrat rolled over {10-Hearts}{7-Spades} for flopped two pair that was eventually counterfeited. His opponent mucked and Hellmuth dragged in the pot. He's now sitting on 16,350 in chips.

Updated Counts

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tables around the room are currently progressing at a different pace, with some tables still seven-handed while others are already heads up. Most notably, Tamer Kamel is currently heads up with an opponent and holds a massive chip lead. Conversely, Josh Arieh is heads up at his table but is at a significant chip disadvantage with just 16,000 in chips.

Randal Flowers holds the chip lead at his table and is currently playing three-handed. The same scenario is true for Shannon Shorr who is playing at the table next door.

Sam Trickett holds the lead at his four-handed table with 37,000 in chips. Will Failla is the short stack at that table with about 7,000.

We arrived at the table in time to find a three-way all in already in progress. Jeremy Wien and a shorter stack were all in for their tournament lives against 2010 World Series of Poker champion Jonathan Duhamel.

Duhamel: {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Wien: {A-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Button: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, giving the player on the button quad sixes and the victory in the hand. He was all in for 4,525 and secured himself a triple up and new life in the tournament. After paying for the quad sixes loss, Wien counted down his stack to be 14,450. His aces held as the best hand in the side pot against Duhamel and he was able to double through the champ.

Duhamel, on the other hand, has been knocked down to 16,000.
