Hellmuth Reraised with... What?

That's right, baby-- 3-7 off!
That's right, baby-- 3-7 off!
Brett Richey opened for 3,500 from late position and Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 14,300 from the button. Richey called and they saw a flop of {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {3-Spades}. Richey led out for 18,000 and Hellmuth called. Both players checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn, but Richey fired again when the {J-Clubs} hit the river. Hellmuth flat-called and rolled over {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, having turned two pair. Richey's {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} was toast and Hellmuth raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 237,000. Richey was left with 51,000.

Mizzi All In, Alaei Missed

With board showing {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}, Daniel Alaei bet 6,500, Sorel Mizzi raised to 31,000, Alaei reraised enough to put Mizzi all in, and Mizzi made the call with his remaining 57,000 chips.

Alaei showed {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush draw, while Mizzi showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for top pair. Fourth and fifth streets brought the {K-Hearts} and the {6-Hearts}, and Mizzi's hand held up.

Alaei falls back to 227,000, while Mizzi climbs to 137,000.

Chan Eliminated by Rousso

With the board showing {2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Vanessa Rousso bet 10,000 and Johnny Chan raised all in with his last 30,000. After some thought, Rousso made the call, turning over {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Chan showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {8-Clubs}, and Chan was eliminated. Rousso now has 127,000.

Eastgate Shown the Door

Peter Eastgate
Peter Eastgate
A short-stacked Peter Eastgate pushed all in with his last 22,600, and after a short bit of deliberation Keith Lehr made the call.

"The reigning world champion is all in!" cried their tablemate, the bearded Andy Black. Eastgate turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Lehr {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, giving Lehr the set but Eastgate outs to Broadway. But the turn was the {8-Spades} and the river {3-Diamonds}. About four-and-half hours after having announced "Shuffle up and deal," Eastgate is out.

Lehr now has 290,000.

Bloch Back in Business

After watching his stack shrink to 73,000 Andy Bloch is back up to an average stack after chasing his opponents away with an all-in move.

Bloch was the initial raiser, making it 2,700 to go from UTG+1. Yevgeniy Timoshenko reraised to 8,400 from middle position, J.C. Tran flat-called from the cutoff, Alec Torelli called from the button, and Bloch called.

The flop was {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. Bloch checked, Timoshenko bet 18,000, Tran folded, Torelli called, and Bloch came over the top for the rest of his chips, 71,100 in all. Timoshenko insta-mucked, but Torelli tanked for quite a while before ultimately giving up his hand and conceding the pot to Bloch.

After the hand, Bloch was up to over 140,000.
