Kellstrom Takes One from Hall

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

On the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Dana Kellstrom checked to Galen Hall. Hall bet 3,800 and Kellstrom made the call to see the {3-Hearts} fall on the turn. Both players checked and the river completed the board with the {A-Hearts}. Kellstrom bet 5,000 and Hall folded.

Kellstrom scooped the pot and moved to 54,000 in chips. Hall dropped back to 16,100.

Masinter Moves On

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tom Masinter is out after shoving his last ~12,000 from the button on a no-look shove. The big blind quickly called with {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, and Masinter didn't want to look yet. He had to turn them over, though, revealing the mighty {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}.

The board ran out {K-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and Masinter's day is done.

Ramdin Will Take a Chop

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Victor Ramdin opened to 1,100 from middle position, and the Alexander Rocha three-bet to 2,750 three seats over. When it came back to Ramdin, he didn't waste too much time announcing an all in, and Rocha tanked for a minute or so and made the call.

"Aw, shit," Ramdin said.

Showdown
Ramdin: {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Rocha: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

"I'll take a chop," Ramdin said in a good case of foreshadowing. The board ran out {2-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs}, and both players take their money back with matching wheels.

Heeeeere's Hellmuth

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

After battling through a bout of food poising, Phil Hellmuth has joined the field with a full stack, sitting in the five hole at the table that incudes Victor Ramdin and Scott Montgomery.

"What ever you do," Hellmuth said to us, "don't order the beef whatever from room service."

Brrrrreak

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

That's another two levels down, and the players are off for their final fifteen-minute break of the day. When they return, they'll play two more levels before the chip bags come out.

Froehlich Rivered?

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We wish we'd seen the preflop and flop action for this one.

When we joined the hand, there were four cards out on a board of {3-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {5-Spades}. It looks like Eric Froehlich was the preflop raiser, but Cary Katz was the one doing the betting from the small blind. He flicked out 3,000, and Froehlich called to see the {9-Clubs} on the river. Katz grabbed 6,000 more chips and spun them into the pot, and Froehlich eventually called.

"I have a nine," Katz said, and Froehlich leaned forward and grimaced. Katz tabled {5-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for two pair, and Froehlich didn't like it, mumbling quietly as he mucked his cards.

E-Fro is back down around 26,000 now.

Erik Seidel and Carlos Mortensen saw the flop come down {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Seidel bet 1,000 and Mortensen called.

The river completed the board with the {A-Diamonds} and Seidel checked. Mortensen bet 5,000 and Seidel called.

Mortensen tabled the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for aces and jacks. Seidel couldn't beat that and mucked his hand, dropping back to 26,000. Mortensen improved to 49,000.

Sabat Pays Off a Full House

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

From middle position, a player raised to 800. Eddy Sabat called from the button and everyone else folded. The flop came down {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and the original raiser bet 1,300. Sabat raised to 2,850 in position and his opponent called.

The turn card was the {K-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {A-Spades} fall on the river. The first player bet 4,600 into Sabat. Sabat called, but mucked after his opponent tabled {5-}{5-} for a flopped full house. Sabat dropped to 27,000 in chips after losing this pot.
