Daneshgar Busts

David Daneshgar went all in from early position for his last 65,000. Action folded to Spencer Hudson in the cut off who pushed all in himself for 185,000. everyone else got out of the way and they flipped over their cards:

Hudson: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Daneshgar: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Daneshgar was eliminated. Hudson is now sitting with a stack of about 265,000.

Steinberg Doubles

Jesse Yaginuma raised to 14,000 from the cutoff, and Max Steinberg shipped in 55,000 on the button. Yaginuma called off with {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and Steinberg needed his {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to hold to stay alive. The board came out {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, doubling to 118,000. Yaginuma is down to 173,000.

Hellmuth on a Heater

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Frances Anderson raised to 15,000 from the button and was called by Hellmuth in the small blind. Once the big blind folded, the flop came {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and both players checked.

Hellmuth led out for 25,000 when the {8-Diamonds} hit on the turn. Anderson went into the tank for a couple minutes.

"I'll take this one kid, you take the next one," Hellmuth tried to compromise.

Anderson then announced a raise. Anderson then came out with two stacks of yellow chips totaling 40,000. He then went back for another 25,000 or so and put them into the pot.

This was considered a string bet and the floor was called. It was determined that it would be a minimum raise to 50,000. Hellmuth made the call as the {6-Clubs} hit on the river.

Hellmuth bet 40,000 and Anderson was clearly unhappy. Anderson thought about it for over two minutes while Hellmuth stared him down. Eventually Anderson called and Hellmuth flipped over {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the nut flush.

Anderson's mistake proved quite costly as he dropped to 70,000 and Hellmuth continued to grow his stack to 362,000.

Parrish Perishes

Joseph Parrish open-shoved for 37k with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} in middle position. Pavel Myndrov over-shoved from late position with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and ended up heads up with Parrish. The board brought an ace but nothing else to help Parrish, and he was sent to the rail as Mydnrov moved up to 120,000.

Hellmuth Slow Rolls?

Josh Brikis has a lot of chips, and his having a lot of fun with the crew that just showed up on the rail to sweat him. They've been cheering and jeering at every play he makes, and now that Phil Hellmuth joined the table, the group has a new player to heckle. Hellmuth just used his pocket aces to eliminate a player, and in the rail's opinion, the Poker Brat slow-rolled him. The booing went on for at least two minutes, but Hellmuth seemed to enjoy it. It's attention, after all. Phil is up to 240,000 at the moment, and we're looking forward to him tangling with Big Dog Brikis.

Bling-Heavy Table

David Daneshgar

No, we don't mean Chad Batista and Dwyte Pilgrim are back in the tournament. But there is a concentration of WSOP bling owners on one of the toughest tables in the field. Steve Sung, winner of last year's only $1,000 No-Limit Stimulus Event, was just moved to a table that already had David Daneshgar and Ray Foley. Daneshgar won a $1,500 no-limit tournament in 2008 and Foley won the same in 2009.

Sung has around 60,000, and Daneshgar slightly more. Ray Foley is up to 140,000 after eliminating Richard Talerico. It folded to Talerico on the button, and he moved all in for 36,500. Foley called in the small blind with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, much to the frustration of Talerico, who had {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The board was no help to Talerico, sending him on his way and giving Foley more chips to use in his battle against Sung and Daneshgar.
