Hand #85 - Phil Hellmuth Doubles Through Dustin Holmes

Hand #85 - Phil Hellmuth has the button in seat 1, he raises to 120,000 and then stands up and stares at Fineman as Fineman considers what to do from the small blind. Fineman folds, and now it's Holmes' turn to sweat under the glare of Hellmuth.

After about 30 seconds, Holmes moves all in, and Hellmuth immediately calls with {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Holmes shows {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Hellmuth has the preflop lead, and he'll need it to hold up to stay alive.

Hellmuth takes his standard walk over to Ivey (insurance?) before sitting in the stands with his wife to watch the board on the big screen.

The flop comes {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and the crowd groans as Holmes picks up a club flush draw.

The turn card is the {8-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth retains the lead with king high. Holmes needs a queen, a jack, or any club to bust Hellmuth here.

The river card is the -- {A-Spades}, and the crowd cheers as Phil Hellmuth doubles up in chips.

Hellmuth walks over to Ivey and says, "I owe you thirty more thousand ..."

Phil Ivey has already made two final tables at this WSOP, but he might make more money at this one. The announcer says, "Phil needs to finish in at least fourth place to break even with his side bets."

Hand #86 - Dustin Holmes Doubles Through Ben Fineman

Hand #86 - Ben Fineman has the button in seat 3, he raises to 110,000, Holmes moves all in from the small blind, and Fineman calls with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Holmes shows {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and the crowd "oohs" as Holmes takes the lead with a pair of tens.

The turn card is the {7-Diamonds}, and Fineman needs an ace on the river to bust Holmes here.

The river card is the {10-Spades}, and Dustin Holmes doubles up with trip tens.

Hand #87

Hand #87 - Dustin Holmes has the button in seat 4, and he raises to 110,000, winning the blinds and antes. Holmes shows {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} as he collects the chips.

Hand #88 - Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 6th Place ($76,464)

Hand #88 - Jason Song has the button in seat 5, Hellmuth raises under the gun to 120,000, and Shak calls from the big blind. The flop comes {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Shak moves all in, and Hellmuth calls all in for 305,000 with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens. Shak shows {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of queens, and Hellmuth will need to improve to survive.

Because Hellmuth is behind, there's no need to insurance from Phil Ivey. Besides, Hellmuth is suddenly in a much less jovial mood.

The turn card is the {9-Hearts}, and Hellmuth needs an ace or a ten on the river if he wants to continue pursuit of his 12th bracelet today.

The river card is the {2-Spades}, and Beth Shak wins the pot with a pair of queens. Hellmuth walks over to his wife for a moment before returning to the table to shake hands with the other players.

Phil Hellmuth is eliminated in sixth place, earning $76,464 (minus what he lost in side bets to Phil Ivey). The next player eliminated will receive $100,431 for fifth place.

Hand #89 - Jason Song Doubles Through Dustin Holmes

Hand #89 - Shankar Pillai has the button in seat 8, Holmes raises under the gun to 110,000, Song moves all in for 380,000, and Holmes calls with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Song shows {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and he's in a strong position to double up here.

The board comes {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and Song's pocket queens hold up to win the pot, and he doubles up in chips.
