Hellmuth and Katz Chop

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Cary Katz led out for 7,000 and Phil Hellmuth raised to 20,000.

Katz responded by moving all in and Hellmuth called off his last 95,000.

Katz: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

With Hellmuth at risk but in the lead, he would need to fade any king or spade.

The {4-Hearts} on the turn, followed by the {4-Diamonds} on the river would see the pot chopped up between the two.

The Fall of John Juanda

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda bet 11,500 from the small blind on a board of {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. David Einhorn made it a big raise to 46,000 in the cutoff, and Juanda used a time extension before mucking, leaving himself just over 100,000.

The next hand, Juanda opened button and called a three-bet to 14,500 from small blind Fedor Holz. The flop came {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Juanda called a continuation-bet of 11,000. Holz moved all in on the {6-Clubs} turn, and Juanda called the rest off without much delay.

Juanda: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Holz: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Holz had turned a combo draw, but he needed help on the river. The dealer delivered it in the form of the {10-Clubs}. Juanda calmly slid his remaining time extensions to the dealer and headed for the doors.
