Phil Runs So Good

Despite arriving three or four hours late, Phil Hellmuth is up to 18,000 already.

Just now he saw an {8-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} flop and got his opponent all in holding {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Hellmuth was naturally holding {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}.

Turn: {J-Clubs}
River: {A-Clubs}

"Phil, you run so good!" his newly-busted opponent laughed.

Frangos Dips

Down at Frangle Rock
Down at Frangle Rock
Nick Frangos is down to 4,000 after finding himself playing a hand under the gun. He bet on the {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop after the big blind had checked on his and got a call behind as well as a call from the big blind.

The big blind got aggressive on the {3-Clubs} turn though and bet out; Frangos was the only caller. Like the big blind bet out on the {5-Clubs} river and Frangos called.

The big blind turned over {10-?} {8-?} and Frangos couldn't beat it -- down he goes to 4,000 in chips.

Trash Talk

Wow, poker player spotted getting up from the table to put their empty drinks containers in the bin instead of leaving them in the middle of the floor for bloggers to fall over!

The lovely and considerate lady in question: Pam Brunson.

Sam Grizzled

Sam Grizzle called all in for his last 475 to a raise and a reraise with three other players making it to the {9-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop. Soon as the innocuous looking {4-Hearts} came on the turn, though, Grizzle just mucked his hand, stood up and left, while the three players continued the hand. That's that, then.

Plastik Bagged

Small blind David Plastik got his last 400 in from the small blind in a five-way pot. Come the river of the {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} board, he flashed the {Q-Clubs} but whatever his kicker was it couldn't beat his winningest opponent's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}.

Not Quite All-ie In

Allie Prescott, who recently finished ninth at the $10,000 Mixed Event, is down to just 1,550 after failing to better his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} on a {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {A-Hearts} board and just mucking instead.

Level: 6

Blinds: 150/300

Devon Knows

Not taking it Bryan down
Not taking it Bryan down
Bryan Devonshire raised to a bet on the {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop and then bet the {5-Spades} turn and the {2-Clubs} river as well. His opponent check-called all the way, but Devonshire's pocket {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} were good to take the pot.

He's up to 6,500.
