Earlier this year, Garry Gurevich became the youngest player remaining in the WSOP Main Event and ultimately finished in 504th place for $32,500.

Gurevich, who won his first WSOP Circuit ring in September, finished in 157th place today for $50,000.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of 6♥10♦J♠J♦, Kyle Carlston bet from the big blind and Taran Parmar raised to 700,000 from middle position. Carlston called.

Carlston checked on the 10♣ river and Parmar bet 500,000.

"I'm too curious what you have," Carlston said before calling and tabling J♣10♠ for jacks full of tens, which was the nuts since he blocked both quad possibilities.

But he'd be chopping the pot as Parmar turned over Q♥J♥ for the same full house.

"I guess I had you preflop," said Parmar.

Player	Chips	Progress
Taran Parmar	9,500,000 45,000	45,000
Kyle Carlston	5,000,000 2,130,000	2,130,000

Shaun Deeb Says Phil Hellmuth Will Never Win Another WSOP Bracelet

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth, the record-holder, is done winning World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, so says Shaun Deeb.

Deeb told WSOP reporter Jeff Platt on earlier in the series that not only does he believe the "Poker Brat" won't one day capture his 18th bracelet. He also gave himself a solid chance of eventually surpassing Hellmuth.

PokerNews caught up with Hellmuth at the World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) series in the Bahamas to get his thoughts on Deeb's comments. He took issue what the reigning WSOP Player of the Year had to say, and suggested that "he was trolling me." But he then said "he might not have been."
