Hellmuth Lays Down a Hand

[user108095]

After the player in the cutoff limped into the pot, Phil Hellmuth raised to 2,600 from the small blind. The cutoff then reraised to 10,000, putting Hellmuth back on the boil.

"You know I have something right? But you think I'm weak," Hellmuth said as he riffled his remaining chips.

Hellmuth eventually mucked {A-Hearts}

face up. He's down to 7,025.

While Hellmuth's hand was happening, Tiffany Michelle was eliminated from the event.

Seidel's Incentive

[user108095]

We caught up with Erik Seidel on the break, who says WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack has given him extra incentive to win this event.

According to Seidel, Pollack has promised to play Marvin Gaye's version of the National Anthem if Seidel wins. "It will be like winning two bracelets," he said.
