Frazer Gets Away from One

Phil Hellmuth looked down at {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and raised to 18,000. Ian Frazer reraised to 40,000 with the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. David Benyamine picked up {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and folded from the small blind before action fell back to Hellmuth. He gave a little speech and did some acting while he thought. The last two times Frazer three-bet someone, he had two aces each time. Hellmuth eventually reraised to 110,000 after several minutes in the tank. Frazer took about a minute and then folded his hand.

Hellmuth Disgusted

Phil Hellmuth raised to 18,000 with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Giovanni Safina continued to stay active and made the call with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop rolled out {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn brought the {10-Spades} and Safina checked. Hellmuth bet 11,000. Safina made the call with his flush draw.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and Safina checked. Hellmuth checked behind. Safina turned up a pair of jacks, having been dominated before the river and Hellmuth gave a look of disgust before mucking his hand.

Timoshenko and Negreanu Chop

Daniel Negreanu raised to 12,000 with the {A-Spades}{7-Spades}. Yevgeniy Timoshenko called from the big blind with the {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Timoshenko checked. Negreanu bet the minimum for 6,000 and Timoshenko raised to 18,000. Negreanu called.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and Negreanu picked up a flush draw now, but still held the worst hand. Both players checked.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Timoshenko took his time before acting. He fired a bet of 39,000 and Negreanu instantly wanted to know the price. The dealer informed him of the amount and Negreanu called.

The two players turned over their hands and chopped up the pot, playing aces and deuces with a ten kicker.

No Action Again for Frazer

Daniel Negreanu looked down at the {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and raised to 12,000, continuing his small-ball approach. Phil Hellmuth was in the small blind and held the {K-Hearts}{2-Spades} and gave it a thought before folding.

Ian Frazer was in the big blind and woke up to aces again -- {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. He reraised to 32,000 and Negreanu made the fold.

Aces again for the tightest player at the table, and once again, no action.
