Hellmuth Doubles Through Colman

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened the action with a raise from middle position and both players in the blinds including Julius Colman called to see the {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop. The action was checked to Hellmuth and he bet 250, which was only called by Colman.

The Poker Brat continued with another bet of 450 on the {5-Diamonds} turn and Colman check-called to check-raise all in as soon as the {9-Diamonds} river appeared. Hellmuth had bet 1,100 and snap-called all in, turning over {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} for a full house. Colman could not beat that with {J-Spades} {5-Spades} and shipped the pot over to the other side of the table.

Gross Takes a Nice Pot

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jeff Gross went heads-up to the {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs} flop and the player in the big blind as well as Gross both checked. On the {5-Spades} turn, a bet of 550 was check-called and Gross had to fire again the {7-Hearts} for 650 when the action got checked to him for the third time in a row. This time he got through with it and didn't have to reveal his cards in order to claim the chips.

Henson Loves His K-2

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Action folded to a short-stacked player on the button and he moved all in for 1,300. The small blind folded, and then Ray Henson thought for about 40 seconds before calling from the big.

Button: {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Henson: {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The short-stacked player got it in good, but Henson took the lead when the {2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop gave him two pair. The {K-Diamonds} turn improved him to a full house, which left his opponent drawing dead. The meaningless {7-Diamonds} was put out on the river for good measure, and then Henson was pushed the pot.

Kamutzki's Shove Goes Through

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Heinz Kamutzki raised to 450 from early position and table chip leader Colin Galloway folded two seats over whereas the player on the button called. Until the river of a {2-Clubs} √{5-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, the heads-up action created a pot of 4,200 and the final community card was checked to the German.

Kamutzki moved all in for 2,650 and his opponent had a hard time to let go before eventually releasing his cards. They both then did some table chat still and the player on the button was convinced to have folded the best hand. Galloway chimed in and said that he had folded pocket deuces preflop.

It aint Easy for Shack-Harris

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Fellow POY contender George Danzer already had a nice stack from the first flight yesterday and sits at an average stack right now on day 1c. Brandon Shack-Harris was well below that but just doubled up after opening the action with a raise to 400. He got called by two players and then got it in with {K-} {Q-} on a king high flop with two diamonds.

The player one seat over had him covered with {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for the flush draw but no further diamond showed up.

Hellmuth Takes One from Henson

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Two players checked to Phil Hellmuth on the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board, and the 13-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner fired a bet of 500. The first player folded, and then Ray Henson made the call to see the {3-Hearts} land on the river. Henson checked, and Hellmuth took his time before betting 1,400. Henson gave it a little bit of thought, but folded in the end, and Hellmuth won the pot.

Zhu Sends One to the Rail

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante
Yaxi Zhu
Yaxi Zhu

A short-stacked player moved all in for 650 and Yaxi Zhu isolated with a three-bet to 1,500. The rest of the field folded and the cards were flipped up.

Zhu: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Both players shared an ace, but Zhu's kicker had her well out in front. The {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop was no harm to Zhu, and neither was the {6-Clubs} turn. All she needed to do to score the knock out was dodge a jack on the river, which is exactly what she did when the {Q-Clubs} blanked.

Shack-Harris Wins a Flip

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Action folded to current World Series of Poker Player of the Year frontrunner Brandon Shack-Harris in the small blind. He completed the bet, and then the player in the big blind raised to 850. Shack-Harris moved all in, and his opponent quickly called for around 5,000 total with the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Shack-Harris had two suited over cards with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} flop gave Shack-Harris the lead, and the {2-Hearts} turn kept him there. Shack-Harris just needed a dodge a nine on the river, and he was able to do so after the {4-Hearts} finished off the board.

With that pot, Shack-Harris increased his stack to approximately 13,500 in chips.
