Brenda Rizer Eliminated ($3,638)

[user75032]

Brenda Rizer's tournament is over. She couldn't best George Markakis in a hand when her low draw failed to come in. She earns $3,638 in prize money for her 28th-place finish.

Picking up chips late in the day is always a great feeling. Margaret Macre must be experiencing that feeling right now. In a three-way pot between Macre, Mike Hefer and Vince Burgio, Macre called a check-raise from Hefer on fifth street showing x-x / {3-Spades}

. Burgio folded.

On sixth street, Hefer was showing x-x / {K-Clubs}

and checked when Macre caught the {10-Hearts}

. Macre checked behind, then bet the river all in and was called. She opened {J-Spades}

in the hole, missing her low draw and her flush draw but rivering a very well-disguised straight. Hefer could only come up with a pair of jacks for high and no qualifying low, so Macre scooped.

She is up to about 60,000 in chips.

Level: 15

Marco Marked for Elimination

[user75032]

Marco Traniello put the last of his chips into what developed as a huge five-way pot against Jeffrey Burdsall, Brenda Rizer, Men "the Master" Nguyen and Vince Burgio. Burdsall wound up folding after fifth street, but the rest of the players went all the way to the river. For the side pot, Nguyen showed trip eights for high with no low; Rizer showed trip nines for high with no low; and Burgio showed an ace-to-five straight for high and low. That hand scooped the side pot and also beat Traniello out of the main pot.

Traniello earned $3,638 in prize money for his 32nd place finish.

Hellmuth Drops Post-Bustout F-Bombs

[user38368]

On fourth street:

Phil Hellmuth: x-x / {3-Hearts}

Tim D'Alessandro: x-x / {5-Spades}

Hellmuth bets and D'Alessandro raises. Hellmuth re-raises all in and D'Alessandro calls.

Hellmuth: {2-Diamonds}

D'Alessandro: {J-Spades}

Hellmuth starts with a pair and a low draw and bricks out, while D'Alessandro catches a miracle Q on seventh street to bust Hellmuth out in 33rd. Hellmuth collects $2,895.

"He's so f***** bad," Hellmuth says. "There's no way you're going to f***** win." Hellmuth continues like this out the door.

After Hellmuth leaves, D'Alessandro asks the table how many bracelets Hellmuth has won in non-hold'em events. "That's right - zero!" he answers to his own question. "Stick to hold'em, Phil."
