William McMahon Eliminated in 17th Place ($27,612)

William McMahon	- 17th Place
William McMahon - 17th Place
Tony Ma raised it up from the small blind and William McMahon called from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Ma fired out a bet, which McMahon called.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and again Ma bet out, with McMahon making the call.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Ma fired for a third time, which was enough to put McMahon all in. He made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, but it wasn't enough to overcome the {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} of Ma for the flush and best low to scoop and eliminate McMahon in 17th place for $27,612.

Phil Hellmuth Has Arrived

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.

Who Does Phil Hellmuth Pick?

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.

Words From The Mouth

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!"

Sometimes Aces are Enough

Eugene Katchalov three-bet the pot preflop and only Ram Vaswani made the call. On the flop of {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} , Vaswani checked to Katchalov and Katchalov bet. Vaswani made the call. The turn of the {10-Diamonds} was checked around. When the river fell the {J-Spades}, Vaswani again checked. Katchalov bet out and Vaswani called.

Katchalov turned over {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} for aces up. Vaswani folded.
