Hellmuth Arrives

Phil Hellmuth arrived today, and did his custom of shaking hands with all the players seated at his table. Phil Ivey, who is two to Hellmuth's right, cracked a smile, as did Dewey Tomko, and several other players at the table.

"Hey, I try to shake everyone's hand before I start acting like a jerk" said Hellmuth, as he took a seat.

William Thorsson Eliminated

William Thorsson has been busted out of this tournament.

Since Thorsson took 13th place in last year's Main Event, he's been on a rush. He made two final tables in Europe last October. Thorsson made a final table at this year's WSOP, where he took 3rd in the $5K Limit Hold'em Championship.

Mike Sexton in Trouble

Mike just open-folded a flopped set of jacks after Patrick Bruel bet enough to put him all in on the river. The board showed Q-J-4-5-10 and with all the straights out there Mike released his hand. He now has 6,000 and Patrick moves up to 26,000.

John Duthie Doubles Through Dario Minieri

On a flop of {8-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}, John Duthie was all in against Dario Minieri who had him covered. The players showed...

Duthie: {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Minieri: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The turn {7-Spades} helped neither player but the {4-Clubs} on the river completed Duthie's flush and cracking Minieri's top set and earning him the pot.
