Phil Hellmuth, fresh from being knocked out of Event #39 ($1500 No-Limit Hold'em), with camera crew in tow, has just arrived to check out the action at this Omaha Hi-Lo World Championship. When he got to David Benyamine, Hellmuth said, "He's always here. Omaha Hi, and he's there. Deuce to Seven lowball, and he's there. He's always there."
Hellmuth is making his rounds to both tables, shaking hands and kissing....babies.
Stuart Paterson was desperately short-stacked and found himself all in against three other opponents. The pot was split amongst them with Paterson left to muck his cards and head to the exit in 15th place for $33,135 in prize money.
Phil Hellmuth was sitting right next to the PokerNews booth for a few minutes checking out the action. I got a chance to ask his pick for a winner of this event. Hellmuth said, "Matusow will likely be there. Maybe David Chiu."
It should be interesting to see how Hellmuth's picks fare.
In a recent hand with Berry Johnston, Mike Matusow was forced to fold his hand on the turn and was heard to say "Legend vs Legend. This time old school won!"
Mike Matusow has just taken a nice pot off Danny Dang. Matusow turned the nut flush draw but rivered a straight to collect the pot and move to over 440,000 chips. Dang is now down to 180,000.
Eugene Katchalov three-bet the pot preflop and only Ram Vaswani made the call. On the flop of , Vaswani checked to Katchalov and Katchalov bet. Vaswani made the call. The turn of the was checked around. When the river fell the , Vaswani again checked. Katchalov bet out and Vaswani called.
Katchalov turned over for aces up. Vaswani folded.
Pat Pezzin found the last of his chips in the middle preflop against Shun Uchida.
Uchida:
Pezzin:
The board looked good for a Pezzin double-up when it arrived but a brutal on the river was enough to send Pezzin home in 14th place for $33,135 in prize money.
