Raising Hellmuth

Just one more thing...
Just one more thing...

Brian Rast limped in, and Phil Hellmuth raised to 7,000 and promptly lowered his head to the table. The action moved to Senovio Ramirez on the button, who reraised pot with not much behind. Rast folded. Hellmuth sat up and knocked his chips over. He waved his hand - {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} - around for a while before eventually folding.

Hellmuth (now 45,000): "You reraised me before, you have to have aces."

Ramirez (now 48,000): "I never reraised you before."

The Mouth Motors On

Mike Matusow was down to 10,900 when Barry Greenstein raised his big blind pre-flop. Matusow re-raised to get it in with {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Greenstein called with the favored hand, {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. But Omaha being what it is, Matusow got the scoop with a board of {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. He made aces and nines and had the only qualifying low.

It was a small hit for Greenstein, who drops to about 90,000.

Boatman Staying Afloat for Now

Boatman - head just above water
Boatman - head just above water

Barny Boatman raised to 7,000 in early position and the gentleman in the big blind called. Mr. Big Blind checked the {6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and Boatman promptly shoved; a fold later and Boatman edged up to a more manageable but stil rather shaky 20,000 or so.

Chock Full of Chips

Seidel Lucky or Unlucky to Get a Chop?

It could have gone worse for Erik Seidel, we suppose. He bet 7,000 on a flop of {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was called, then fired again for 20,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn and was called. When the river came the {a-Diamonds}, he checked. His lone opponent moved all in for 25,700, with Seidel calling after some thought. The other player opened {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for aces and treys with an 8-5 low. Seidel showed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} for aces and queens. Chop it up.

How Low Can Hollink Go?

We'll be honest. It's not looking like a particularly bright and rosy future for Rob Hollink at the moment. He called a pot-sized raise of 7,000 from John Cernuto pre-flop. Both players then checked an all-wheel flop, {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Hollink made a small, probing bet of 6,000 when the turn paired {4-Spades}, but then snap-mucked to a raise from Cernuto.

Hollink is down to about 30,000.

Rast Longer

We arrived to see a flop reading {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} out and a brief potting war between Brian Rast and his opponent in the nine seat ended abruptly with the nine seat folding.

Rast is flying mid-to-high after that, on 120,000.
