Savinov Doubles, Hellmuth Drops Back

Mikhail Savinov: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} / {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {8-Clubs}
Eric Rodawig: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} / {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} / {3-Clubs}

Mikhail Savinov raised all in on fifth and showed buried aces against Rodawig's open tens. Savinov caught nines on sixth to make aces up and the chip leader couldn't catch another ten to eliminate him.

Meanwhile in big pot, it hard got heads up between Phil Hellmuth and Eric Rodawig on sixth street after Joe Tehan and Mikhail Savinov had folded.

Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Rodawig: {x-}{x-} / {10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Hellmuth had been betting all the way and Rodawig had been the only caller on fifth, the chip leader then raised on sixth and Hellmuth said, "Mike Matusow told me all about the weird hands you play..."

Hellmuth eventually mucked the {K-Spades} face up, to become one of the shorter stacks.
