Lee Markholt Eliminated

[user66118]

. Markholt was in good shape to double up with a dominating {A-Hearts}

. It wasn't meant to be though, as a queen on the flop would put Markholt out the door.

Nick Rampone advances out of that pairing.

Tom Dwan has just spilled his drink all over (and we mean all over) his table, forcing he and Nam Le to move over to an adjacent table to finish things out. Durrrr has about a two-to-one chip lead over Le right now.

Hellmuth Gains No Ground

[user66118]

Phil Hellmuth called a raise of 1,800 chips before the flop, and he and his opponent played on the {K-Hearts}

flop. Hellmuth led out with 1,500 chips. Benny Spindler min-raised to 3,000, and Hellmuth called.

Fourth street was the {K-Spades}

. Hellmuth bet again, this time 2,000. Spindler went into the tank, long enough for the Brat to poke at him. "I'm gonna show you a bluff as soon as you call," he said. Sure enough, he called.

The river brought the {A-Hearts}

. Hellmuth checked this time, and the man across the table bet a healthy 7,000 chips. After just a moment to deliberate, Hellmuth called him down.

Both players tabled {J-?}
