Katchalov vs. Feldman

Joshua Feldman brings it in with the {5-Spades}. Eugene Katchalov raises with the {6-Hearts} and Feldman reraises. Katchalov calls.

Fourth street:

Katchalov bets with the {6-Clubs} and Feldman raises with the {8-Diamonds}. Katchalov calls.

Fifth street:

Katchalov checks his {7-Clubs} and Feldman bets {A-Clubs}. Katchalov calls.

Sixth street:

Katchalov bets {2-Clubs} and Feldman calls {9-Clubs}.

Seventh street:

Katchalov bets and Feldman calls.

Katchalov: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Feldman: {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Katchalov scoops with the low flush. He's up to 71,000 while Feldman is knocked down to 87,000.

Stringham Along

Mojgan Stringham picked a good time to come up with a straight. She led the betting from fourth street on with a board of x-x / {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Spades} against Joshua Feldman's x-x / {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Ryan Hughes' x-x / {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. Down the river, Stringham again bet, and Feldman raised. His raise folded Hughes, but Stringham called all in.

"Just sixes," said Feldman. Stringham opened {3-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Hearts} in the hole for a seven low and a seven-high straight to scoop the pot. Bad timing by Feldman.

Stringham jumped to 58,000 after the hand.

Hellmuth Drops Post-Bustout F-Bombs

On fourth street:

Phil Hellmuth: x-x / {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Tim D'Alessandro: x-x / {5-Spades}{A-Clubs}

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

Hellmuth: {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
D'Alessandro: {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

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."

Marco Marked for Elimination

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.
