Exit Hellmuth

Two players limped in and Phil Hellmuth raised to 700, leaving himself only 200 behind. The small blind flat-called the 700, the big blind moved all in for 2,200, the limpers folded, Hellmuth called all in and the small blind folded. Hellmuth turned up {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} while the big blind tabled {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Hellmuth tripled up to 2,900.

Just as soon as he built his stack back up, he lost it all. Hellmuth got it all in two hands later with {A-?} {K-?} and was called by an opponent with pocket jacks. The jacks held and Hellmuth hit the rail in relative silence.

Kathy Liebert Eliminated

Kathy Liebert just joined the ranks of those who won't see Level 4. Liebert was busted by an opponent who, according to her, had been getting the better of her all day. Liebert made her stand with {A-Spades} {9-Spades} against her opponent's {K-Spades} {J-Spades} but fell short when the board ran out {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}.

Williams Running Good

An early-position player limped in, David Williams made it 600 to go from the hijack, the small blind moved all in for 825, the limper folded and Williams called.

Small Blind {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Williams {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

The flop was good for Williams, coming down {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, the river was the {9-Clubs} and Williams eliminated the small blind, increasing his stack to 9,500.

The board ran out {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and Juanda's stack took a massive hit, reducing him to only 2,000 in chips.

Hachem Makes the Most of Jacks

Joe Hachem raised to 600 from under the gun. Action folded around to the button who reraised to 1,500. Hachem made the call and they went heads up to a flop of {9-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Hachem moved all in and got a quick call from the button. The players showed:

Hachem: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

The turn and river came the {7-Diamonds} and {3-Clubs} respectively. Hachem sent another player home and now works with about 9,500 chips.
