Andrulis Wins with Continuation Bet

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

From under the gun, Kristijonas Andrulis raised to 4,300. Vladislav Varlashin called from middle position, Phil Hellmuth called from the cutoff seat, and Adrien Allain called from the big blind. From there, the dealer ran out the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Allain checked. Andrulis fired a continuation bet of 6,500, and all of his opponents folded.

Who Knew Hellmuth Had It in Him

We caught the action with 120,000 already pulled into the middle with a board reading {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. [Removed:138], who was in the small blind, was considering what to do as Hellmuth had 35,000 out in front of him.

"Let's gamble. One of us wins the chips," Hellmuth said as Guinand contemplated. Eventually Guinand folded his hand and Hellmuth smiled and quickly flipped over {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a stone-cold bluff.

Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend

Barbara Martinez waiting for the river, and her fate.
Barbara Martinez waiting for the river, and her fate.

We found Barbara Martinez and Dan Smith looking at a connected flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Martinez bet 10,000 and Smith made it 31,000 to go. Martinez called and the {8-Clubs} turned.

Smith moved her all in and she snapped with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a straight. Smith was drawing live, however, with the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The {5-Diamonds} drilled the river and made Smith's flush. Martinez quickly stood up and exited the tournament area while Smith stacked his new chips. He's currently sitting on about 270,000.

Thomas Gets Aces Cracked; Eliminated a Few Hands Later

We caught up to find major commotion on the tournament floor with people yelling and going crazy.

The board read {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} and October Niner Russell Thomas moved Timothy Reilly all in. Reilly tanked for about two minutes before finally calling with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Thomas was ahead, however, as he held {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}.

The dealer tapped the table and produced a miracle river for Reilly - the {K-Spades}.

Thomas slammed the table and stormed away as a vast majority of his stack was pushed across the table to Reilly. Thomas was eliminated a few hands later.
