Hit The Bricks Mac

Tomas Macnamara open-shipped for his last 60,000 or so before James Carroll moved all in over the top. The action folded to Robert Hwang and he also declared himself all in!

Macnamara: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Carroll: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Hwang: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Hwang was in front and it stayed that way on the {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} board. Hwang moves up to 325,000, Carroll slips to 57,000 while Macnamara hits the bricks.

Mixed Fortunes For Arieh's Big Slick

Maxim Lykov is the latest to hit the rail in a big three-way all-in clash. Lykov took {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} to war against Josh Arieh's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Anton Nikaj's {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The board fell {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Nikaj's tens hold up to jump him to 172,000.

Arieh was down to 47,000 but it wasn't for long. Soon after he opened with a raise before Max Greenwood three-bet to 21,200. Arieh shoved all in and Greenwood thought for a moment, did the math, and tossed out calling chips.

Arieh: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Greenwood: {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

This time Arieh's 'Big Slick' was a little kinder as the board bricked out {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Ariah doubles back to 105,000 with Greenwood down to 58,000.

Hellmuth Doubles Through Dempsey

With the flop reading {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}, play checked to Phil Hellmuth who moved all in for his last 35,800 chips. His opponent, James Dempsey went into the tank for a long time as Hellmuth began the table talk. Amnon Flippi and Chau Giang were running in from other tables to grab a look as Hellmuth's tournament was at stake when Dempsey made the call.

Dempsey: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Hellmuth: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and river the {8-Clubs} and Hellmuth finds a much needed double up just before the break to around 85,000 as Dempsey slips to 108,000.
