Max Pescatori: /

Rob Hollink: / 
/
Joining the action on fifth street and it was Max Pescatori pushing the betting, he bet and everyone else called with the same thing happening on sixth street as well. On seventh Pescatori bet, Rob Hollink made the call but Brian Hastings raised, the other player folded and Pescatori called as well. Hollink thought for a moment and folded. Pescatori showed 
for fives and a 7-5-4-3-A low and Hastings flipped 
for only a pair of tens but enough to take the high half.

Player 3: / FOLDED
Hellmuth had the bring in and player two completed. Player 3 and Hellmuth both flatted. On third, player 2 and 3 checked to Hellmuth, who bet. Player 2 raised, causing player 3 to fold, but Hellmuth called. Hellmuth then proceeded to check-call all the way down until seventh street.
After the final round of betting, Hellmuth said, "I might get it all..." before hands were revealed.
Hellmuth: 
for the low.
Player 2: 
for the high.
Nope!

Alexander Kostritsyn has been eliminated after he was all in on third but his board came 
bricking everything and another player made a six-high straight with a six-low to scoop the pot. We think he is probably the first player to be eliminated today.
Level 5
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Josh Arieh: / /
David Bach: / 
/
David Bach had the bring in and Josh Arieh completed when it was passed around to him only for Bach to make it two bets, Arieh called but was then check-raised on fourth by Bach. Both players then checked fifth before Bach led out on sixth and seventh with Arieh calling him down.
Bach turned over 
for an ace high flush and an 8-6-4-2-A low, Arieh couldn't beat either hand and mucked.
Level 5

FOLDED
John Juanda: / 
/
Player 2 had the bring in and Juanda and Benyamine came along. Player two and Juanda checked on fourth, prompting a bet from Benyamine. Player two folded but Juanda made the call. Juanda check-called again on fourth but led out on fifth, which Benyamine responded to by raising. Juanda flatted. Juanda went back to check-calling on seventh.
We caught a 
from Benyamine, giving him the full-house and chipping him up to 38,000. Juanda mucked and slid to 23,000.
