Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Roland de Wolfe walks past Phil Hellmuth's table, looks at his chips and says, "Three to one says you don't make the dinner break."

Phil takes the bet, saying "Don't you know I have made the dinner break in 80% of the events at the World Series?"

Phil is busy promoting his new energy drink, drinking one himself and handing them out to anyone who will take one.

Some Side Action

Gavin Smith and Jason Strasser have made some interesting prop bets to keep from getting bored.

If a deuce flops, Strasser gives Gavin $100. If a three flops, Gavin gives Strasser $100.

If two deuces flop Strasser gives Gavin $500. If two treys flop then Gavin gives Strasser $500.

If THREE of either deuces or treys flop, then the bet is $1000.

Humberto Brenes Eliminated

Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes
Humberto said he never bluffs, and he didn't bluff on his final hand either. He just didn't have enough chips not to make his stand with pocket fours, and he was called down by the player in the big blind holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. A Queen flashed on the flop, and so Humberto can go have that nap he mentioned a few hands ago.

Jean-Robert Bellande Doubles and Doubles

Nursing a short stack, Jean-Robert Bellande raised the rest of his chips with the {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and after one player called the board of {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} gave Bellande a wheel and the pot.

On the very next hand Bellande called a raise from the blind and, before the dealer spread the flop, went all-in blind. The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and the other player thought for awhile before reluctantly making the call. Both the call and the flop were to Bellande's liking--his {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} outflopped his foe's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} and Bellande held on to increase his stack to 5,200.

Dewey Tomko Goes Out

But it wasn't easy. After an initial raise Tomko moved all-in with {A-Spades} {K-Spades} and was called by a player with pocket Jacks. The flop hit them both pretty hard--{K-Clubs} {8-Spades} {J-Spades}, giving Dewey the top pair and the nut-flush draw but still behind his opponent's set. The {K-Hearts} fell on the turn to give his opponent a full house, negating Tomko's flush draw but giving him outs to a bigger boat. But the river card was a blank and Dewey Tomko was eliminated.

Andy Bloch Eliminated

After seeing a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Andy Bloch committed the last of his chips after flopping second pair and a gutshot draw with {9-Spades}{7-Spades}. His opponent held {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for a open-end straight draw and overcards, and that's what spelled Bloch's end, when the {K-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Humberto Brenes--The Last Honest Man

With two limpers Humberto Brenes saw a flop of {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Clubs}. The player in the big blind bet and Humberto moved all-in. "I'll go to sleep," he said, indicating what his plans would be if he was knocked out. The other player chewed it over and eventually mucked 10-5. Humberto showed the A-10 and exclaimed, "Humberto never bluffs!" Naturally everyone in the room believes him 100%.

Soft-playing Shannon Elizabeth

Shannon Elizabeth
Shannon Elizabeth
On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Shannon Elizabeth bets the pot and is called by the big blind. The turn is the {9-Hearts} and both players check. The river is the {4-Hearts}. Elizabeth bets 550 and the big blind flat-calls.

The big blind turned over the {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}-- he made the second-nut flush on the river after flopping trips... yet he didn't elect to raise Elizabeth on any street.
