Matthew Wantman was involved in a three-way all-in against Dennis Wilke and Jinwoo Kim, the latter of which held the biggest stack.
Dennis Wilke: A♣Q♦
Jinwoo Kim: 9♠9♥
Matthew Wantman: A♠7♦
The K♦J♥3♣10♥J♠ board gave Wilke broadway and he tripled, while Kim won the side pot.
On the tail end of a Q♦7♠3♣9♦6♠ board, Marcio Zacconi bet 18,000. Tom-Aksel Bedell called and Zacconi tabled the K♦J♦ for a busted straight and flush draw. "I win," Bedell said with a smirk on the face and tabled his 9♥8♦ to scoop the pot.
Armando Lanuza opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 15,000 from the button. Lanuza made the call.
The flop came Q♣6♦5♣ and Lanuza check-called a 12,000 continuation bet from Negreanu.
Both players checked the 7♠ turn leading to the 8♣ river. Lanuza bet 21,000 which was enough to force a fold from Negreanu.
Dan Shak limped in after Eyal Revah raised to 13,000 out of turn, one of several administrative mistakes he had made in the last several hands. Anuj Kwarta responded with a shove from the button and Shak followed suit with the rest of his chips. Revah called both players with a mountain of chips and theywere relatively short compared to him.
Anuj Kwarta: 8♥8♣
Dan Shak: Q♣Q♠
Eyal Revah: A♥A♣
The board ran out 9♥5♥5♦2♠K♥ and the aces held to eliminate both players.
Note: Revah's stack is disorganized and not sorted by color, so the PokerNews team can only provide an estimate.
Steve Gallo opened to 6,500 on the button and poker vlogger Lexy Gavin-Mather defended out of the big blind.
Gavin-Mather checked on the flop of 10♣4♠Q♥ and Gallo continued for 6,500. Gavin-Mather check-raised to 12,500 and Gallo called.
Gavin-Mather sized down to 11,000 on the 4♣ turn and Gallo quickly called. Gavin-Mather then moved all in for around 35,000 on the 9♣ river and Gallo went deep into the tank as Bob Mather came over from the next table to film his wife in action.
"I don't know how I fold this hand," Gallo groaned. "Ace-queen."
Gallo eventually folded and will have to wait until Gavin-Mather's next vlog to find out what she had.
"I missed a hand just for you, baby!" Bob Mather said as he rushed back to his table.
Kevin Martin opened to 6,000 from middle position and Dan Stavila three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff. Martin four-bet shoved for roughly 40,000 and Stavila snap-called to put Martin at risk.
Kevin Martin: Q♦Q♣
Dan Stavila: 10♣9♣
Martin was in great shape with pocket queens but the A♣6♠3♣ flop gave Stavila some outs in the form of a flush draw. The J♥ turn was clean but the flush came in on the 6♣ river to give Stavila the pot while Martin was sent to the rail.
Upon completion of level 12, the initial field of 515 has been reduced to just 169 hopefuls and they all aim to make it to the top 78 spots. During the ongoing 15-minute break, the T-500 chips will be raced off as they are no longer required for the rest of the night.
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Phil Hellmuth, who early today made a grand entrance dressed as Poseidon and surrounded by 17 mermaids, was down to just five big blinds and opened to 11,000 on the button with just 8,000 behind. Ori Eshel three-bet on the button and Hellmuth quickly called off to be at risk.
Phil Hellmuth: K♦J♥
Ori Eshel: Q♥Q♦
There was no sweat for the 17-time bracelet winner as the flop landed Q♠6♦6♠ to give Eshel a boat and have Hellmuth drawing dead.
"Good flop for you," Hellmuth said as he stood from his seat headed to the runout of A♠6♥ confirmed his elimination.
