Steve Zolotow: (X)(X) / {4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / (X)
Tom Dwan: (X)(X) / {7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / (X)
Abe Mosseri: (X)(X) / {9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades} / (X)

After a player with the {3-Clubs} up brought in, Zolotow completed. Dwan raised and then Mosseri tanked before reraising with his nine up. The bring-in player folded and then both Zolotow and Dwan called. When Dwan called, he was all in.

Mosseri did the betting for the rest of the action, leading every street. Zolotow stuck around and even raised Mosseri after seventh was dealt. Mosseri called. There was a hefty side pot that developed, but Mosseri and Zolotow shopped it up. Mosseri had a full house for the high after he revealed the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Zolotow made the low with the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} underneath. Dwan couldn't beat either of them in the main pot and quickly headed out the door.

Zolotow now has 58,000 and Mosseri has 37,000.

Sorel Mizzi (X)(X) / {7-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / (X)
Mike Sexton (X)(X) / {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} / (X)

We picked the action up on fourth street, as Mizzi bet out and Sexton raised. Mizzi called, then check-called another bet on fifth street. Sexton led on sixth and seventh street and Mizzi called him down.

Sexton showed {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for an eight-high straight, good for the high and the low. With that scoop, Sexton is up to 44,500.

Keith Sexton Eliminated

Keith Sexton (X)(X) / {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts} / (X)
Gary Benson {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {5-Diamonds}

Keith Sexton put the rest of his chips in the middle against Gary Benson, but his pair of aces for high could not hold against Benson's eight-high straight. Benson also made a low with 7-6-5-4-2 and scooped the pot, eliminating Sexton.

Benson is up to 52,500 in chips.

Bach and Hellmuth Cap It

Can this clown even SPELL poker?

Phil Hellmuth (X)(X) / {5-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} / (X)
David Bach (X)(X) / {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} / (X)

We caught up with this hand on fourth street as the betting was capped between Phil Hellmuth and David Bach. Bach continued to lead on fifth and sixth streets, Hellmuth calling him down.

When their river cards were dealt, Bach bet out again and Hellmuth launched into a monologue.

"I saw you five-bet someone with a flush draw. I knew you were the one for me," Hellmuth said as he open-mucked his {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, having missed his wheel draw. "Must be nice, buddy. Must be nice."

Bach raked in the pot, taking his stack up to 67,000. Hellmuth was left with 30,000.

Singer Riding the Wheel

David Singer: (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} / (X)
Farzd Bonyadi: (X)(X) / {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs} / (X)

Bonyadi completed on third and Singer raised. Bonyadi called. On fourth and fifth, Bonyadi bet and Singer made the call. On sixth, Bonyadi bet again, but this time Singer popped in a raise. Bonyadi called and then he check-called a bet from Singer on seventh.

Singer trned up the {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} form his downcards for the wheel. It was good enough for the high and the low as Bonyadi mucked. Singer's now up to 63,500 chips.

Violette Scooping Early

Keith Sexton: (X)(X) / {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / (X)
Cyndy Violette: (X)(X) / {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Diamonds} / (X)

Sexton wound up losing about 8,000 chips to Violette after she tabled the {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} from her downcards to make an eight-high straight and a six low to scoop. She's now boosted her stack to 45,000 while Sexton slipped down to 26,000.

After his dramatic run at a bracelet last night in Event #11, Tom Dwan jumped right back into the thick of the WSOP and is seated behind the 17,200 in chips he has remaining after his stack was anted off. He has a pretty tough table draw this afternoon with Abe Mosseri on his left along with Dan Shak, Steve Zolotow, Mike Matusow and Italian pro Alessio Isaia.
