Tilt-a-Phil

Phil Hellmuth is steaming again after losing another pot to Raj Sawant. On a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Raj Sawant bet 33K and Hellmuth called. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {10-Clubs}. Raj Sawant bet 45K and Hellmuth called.

Raj Sawant: {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Hellmuth: {9-Spades} (x)

Hellmuth only showd the {9-Spades} for trip nines and mucked his other card. He was steaming because Raj Sawant caught running clubs to catch a flush on the river and beat his trips. Hellmuth slipped to 67K after that hand.

Bob Bright Eliminated in 30th Place ($16,766)

Bob Bright's run in this tournament has just come to an end.

Pohler caught the {9-Diamonds} on the flop and took the lead. There would be no miracle for Bright and he was eliminated in 30th place, earning $16,766 in the process.
