Two Down, One of them Hellmuth

We lost two players on successive hands at connecting tables.

In the first hand, Malkiel Berlianshik moved all in and Jesse Sylvia decided to make the call with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Berlianshik was in great shape with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} but things started to change quickly when the flop and turn came {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Now Sylvia could bust Berlianshik with any nine or heart and he would do just that when the river came {2-Hearts}.

After the hand, Maurice Hawkins told Sylvia "you can smile."

Sylvia responded "I don't feel particularly good about that".

Hawkins laughed and replied "you're lying." Sylvia smiled.

At the other table, Byron Kaverman would open and call Phil Hellmuth's all in shove. Hellmuth was in bad shape with his {A-Spades}{6-Hearts} could not improve against Kaverman's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and he was off to whine to the television cameras about how bad he runs. "That kid raises every hand and when I finally get a hand, he gets Ace-Queen. Are you kidding me?"
