Hellmuth Eliminated by Andress

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

In a hand that occurred on the stream, Dimitry Urbanovich raised to 4,500 from under the gun with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and was called by John Andress in the small blind who held {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Phil Hellmuth was sitting in the bg blind who three-bet to 13,500 with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Urbanovich considered his options for a while and then opted to fold. Andress shoved with the bigger stack and Hellmuth snap-called for the 38,500 he had behind.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{q-Spades} for Andress to hit the higher pair of queens immediately and Hellmuth shook his head.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs} which didn't change the situation and Hellmuth got up from his chair already.

The river completed the board with the {k-Diamonds}, Hellmuth shook Andress' hand and wished the rest of the table good luck before leaving the feature table stage while mumbling about the ace-queen call by Andress.

Ingram and Guerrero Swap Jackets

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joey Ingram was recently moved to Jimmy Guerrero's table, just a couple of seats to his left. Since then, Ingram has lost over half of his stack and Guerrero hasn't had much luck either.

As the table continued to play out a hand, Ingram and Guerrero got to talking about changing their luck. They decided to exchange jackets for an orbit and see how that works out.

"I need a picture of this. I would never wear this any other time," Ingram stated.

"I like you better without the jacket. Show off the guns," Mike Del Vecchio shouted from the table next door.

Tang Busts to Tatu

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Vlad Tatu
Vlad Tatu

The flop showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Wei Tang bet 6,000 only for Vlad Tatu to move all in from the button. Tang had some 70,000 in total behind and tried to involve his opponent in table chat.

"Do you have king queen?" Tang asked and received no reply. What followed was the call of Tang and he tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. Platinum Pass winner Tatu held {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for top pair and the flush draw, and he immediately spiked the {3-Diamonds} turn.

Tang needed another diamond to avoid elimination but found no help on the blank {6-Spades} river.
