board and the turn had been checked through before Hellmuth bet on the end. He was called and his
was good.The next hand just got as far as the
flop where a Hellmuth bet took it down.
.Mr. Big Blind check-called Kravchenko's bets all the way down the
board and then mucked; Kravchenko is up to 94,500.
If he hadn't just lost a pot to an opponent holding

he might not have felt the need to complain. The 8,000 stack he's on won't help the mood either.
Alex Keating opened under the gun and O'Dell and another gentleman on the cutoff both called. Over to Fu Wong in the small blind who reraised; three calls later and they were at the
flop.Wong bet out and O'Dell was the only caller, so they went heads up to the
turn. Wong checked and O'Dell bet; call. The river was the
and Wong checked again. This time when O'Dell bet, Wong raised. O'Dell called, but mucked when Wong turned over pocket aces for a full house.Fair enough, that hand put Wong up to 40,000 and knocked former big stack O'Dell down to 52,000. But wait! There's more...
With the betting capped preflop, the short-stacked small blind moved all in on the
flop and O'Dell called in mid position. A couple seats down, Alex Kravchenko raised; O'Dell called that too. O'Dell check-called the continued betting from Kravchenko on the

. Tommy Hang check-called a bet from a player on the button. They both checked the
river and Hang then led out on the
river. His opponent called and showed
