"Get Outta Here!"

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We caught up to find the board reading {8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and all of Dwyte Pilgrim's chips in the middle. Pilgrim's opponent flipped up {5-}{5-} for a cancelled out pocket pair.

"Get outta here!" exclaimed Pilgrim as he flipped up {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, his ace high being the best hand. Pilgrim scored a double up but is still short with about 1,200.

Ivey Doubles

Action folded around to the button who raised it up. The small blind called and so did a short-stacked Phil Ivey in the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Ivey bet out and the button raised. The small blind folded and Ivey threw in the rest of his chips.

Ivey: {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Ivey was behind but had more outs than he thought. Being Phil Ivey, however, he drilled the {10-Clubs} on the turn to make his straight. The {5-Diamonds} peeled off on the river making Ivey's opponent a set that was no good. Ivey was able to double to about 1,400.

Phil Hellmuth Winning His 12th WSOP Bracelet
Phil Hellmuth Winning His 12th WSOP Bracelet

A few days ago the Rio was buzzing with excitement as Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey were both heads up for bracelets in separate events at the same time. Hellmuth was able to conquer his table in Event 18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz and win his 12th WSOP bracelet. Ivey, however, finished second to Andy Frankenberger in Event 17: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em. Now the two Phils are cause for excitement once again, as Hellmuth just took his seat at Ivey's table.

On the other side of the Brasilia room, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Jennifer Harman has just taken her seat at the table of Daniel Negreanu and Eric Froelich.

We'll keep you updated as these titans of poker clash on the felt.

Some Chips at the Break

One For Dunst

Tony Dunst
Tony Dunst

Tony Dunst popped it up from the cutoff and it folded around to the big blind who flicked a chip off of his stack and called.

The brought {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Dunst's opponent checked. Dunst continued out with a bet and his opponent peered at his cards before throwing out a call. The {8-Hearts} came on the turn and both players checked. The river brought the {J-Spades} and Dunst's opponent checked for a third time. Dunst bet and his opponent called.

"Jack," said Dunst as he tabled {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. His opponent shot his hand to the muck and Dunst dragged in the pot.

Cheong Check-Raised

On a {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, a player checked to Joseph Cheong who bet out. The player then threw out a check-raise and Cheong called.

The {8-Spades} came on the turn and Cheong's opponent threw out another bet. Cheong called and the {8-Spades} rivered. Cheong tossed out one more call and his opponent flipped up {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Cheong flung his hand to the muck and is now down to around 3,600 in chips.

Two Pair on Turn Bests E-Fro

We found four players including Eric Froelich and Daniel Negreanu seeing a flop in a raised pot. The flop came down {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and two players checked to Froelich who bet. Negreanu sent his cards to the muck and was promptly followed by another player. The last player called, however, and he and Froelich saw the {10-Diamonds} fall on fourth street.

Froelich's opponent check-raised him on fourth and Froelich called. The {3-Spades} came on the river and Froelich's opponent tossed out one last bet that Froelich called. His opponent flipped over {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a turned two pair. Froelich mucked his hand and the pot was awarded to his opponent.
