Hail, Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

It's not often you associate fashion with Phil Hellmuth, but today he has arrived fashionably late in a bid to hit cash number 78. Hellmuth's 11 bracelets are all in hold'em, but who knows, perhaps this week he'll break that duck and add seven card stud to his repertoire. At the moment, the Poker Brat has 5,200.

Dutch Splits One

With 4,000 already in the middle, Dutch Boyd reached sixth street where both his opponents moved all in. Initially, it looked as though Boyd was going to pick up a double scalp, but one opponent made a flush at the death to stay alive.

Boyd: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}/{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{X}
Short Stack #1: {6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{X}/{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Short Stack #2: {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}/{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Boyd jumps up a notch to 6,700.

Turn of the Screwed

Turn it down
Turn it down

We passed by Jon Turner's table, and he had 2,600. But a few minutes later, returning from a circuit of the Amazon Room, Jon Turner was standing up and putting on his coat.

Conclusion - Turner, who finished eighth in the $1,500 stud event a day or two ago, is bust.

Hachem Drowned by Lake

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

"Hey, PokeNews," beamed Scott Lake with his arms outstretched. "You've got to report me as the guy who eliminated Joe Hachem. My mother will love that."

Well, I cannot tell a lie, Lake did indeed bust the 2005 Champ, a three-way pot seeing Hachem all in before fifth street before running headfirst into the wheel.

Hachem: {X}{X}{X}/{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Lake: {5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}/{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Unknown Player: {X}{X}{X}/{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Owais-t of a Good Hand

Owais Ahmed: (XXX) / {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Player 2: {a-}{a-}{10-} / {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Player 3: folded {2-}{7-}{7-} / {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Owais Ahmed, who finalled the $1,500 seven card stud event a few days ago, bet out on sixth street and the gentleman across the table - let us call him Player 2 - raised. The third player in the hand called and so did Ahmed.

Come seventh street Ahmed bet out again, and once more Player 2 raised. Player 3 thought about it for some time. She spent a while waving her down cards around so all could see before folding with some obvious regret. The laughing Ahmed called though.

"Your rolled-up jacks are no good," Player 2 told him, turning over aces full of tens. We don't know if it was jacks or anything else, as Ahmed mucked.

With that, it looks like Ahmed may not be making final table in this event - he's down to just 800.
