| Lyle Berman | /     / / |
The 
had the bring in and Phil Hellmuth made the call. Lyle Berman completed it and only Hellmuth called.
Berman ended up betting every street, and seventh blind. Hellmuth called every single bet and turned over 
for a straight. That was no good against Berman's 
as he had made a full house.
Hellmuth seemed quiet at first, but eventually he bursted out and left the table for a couple of hands. Hellmuth sat down in the far corner of the tournament room for a while, but eventually he made his way back to the table. Hellmuth's short and looking to double up.
Stud
| Phil Ivey | /   / |

Phil Ivey led the betting on this one up until sixth street after he had completed on third. Bruno Fitoussi was calling down, but then picked up a pair on sixth and checked to Ivey. Ivey bet and Fitoussi called. On seventh, Fitoussi checked and Ivey bet. Fitoussi tanked for a little bit, then folded his hand and Ivey won the pot.
Stud-8
| Luke Schwartz | /   / |
| Dan Shak | /   / |
Picking up the action on fifth street, Dan Shak checked and Luke Schwartz fired a bet. Shak called. On sixth street, Shak made the best hand showing with a pair of jacks, but Schwartz announced a bet in the dark, which was also out of the turn. The dealer stopped him and Shak was allowed to check. Schwartz bet and Shak called.
Before seventh street was dealt, Schwartz tried to bet in the dark again, verbally announcing a bet. David Oppenheim piped up, along with some of the others at the table, to tell Schwartz he was once again betting out of turn and couldn't do that.
"But he's only got that much left," said Schwartz, pointing over at Shak's stack of 37,000. The big bet was 30,000.
Shak then tossed in 30,000, thinking he was just calling Schwartz's bet. Schwartz then tossed in his own 30,000 and everything was ready for the showdown.
"I have a straight," said Schwartz as he turned up the 
. Shak took some extra time to squeeze his hole cards nice and long, before tossing them into the muck. He was left with 7,000 in chips, which all went in on the next hand.
| Phil Hellmuth | /   /  |
| David Oppenheim | / - Fold |
| Dan Shak |  /   / |
After having put 3,000 in for the ante, Shak had to bring in and put his last 4,000 in. Action folded to Phil Hellmuth and he completed. Behind him, Oppenheim called and everyone else folded.
Hellmuth bet out Oppenheim on fourth street and that's where the hands were opened. Shak was actually ahead with his pair of nines, but Hellmuth ran down a straight and scooped Shak out of the tournament.
