The players are back in their seats, and the dealers are sending the cards out again.
No #13 For Phil Hellmuth
Level 7
: 300/600, 150 ante
It just wasn't Phil Hellmuth's day today. Hellmuth was part of the last wave of players to register, and he was never able to get above his starting stack. When we went over to his table, we saw that his seat was empty, with no chips in front. A quick scan of the room found that Hellmuth wasn't moved, meaning he's been eliminated.
Marchese Doubles
We got to the table to see Tom Marchese all in with 
in front of him. Marchese pulled one while his opponent stood pat with 
.
Marchese needed to pull either a four or a five to make the best low and stay alive. Marchese flipped up the 
and was able to stay alive and double to about 17,000.

Schulman Takes It Down

Negreanu drew one card while Schulman stood pat. The player on the button opted to take one and all three players checked post-draw.
"As Gus would say, 'that beautiful jack," said Schulman tabling 
. Everyone else mucked their cards and Schulman dragged in that beautiful pot.

Juanda Cripples Chan
Johnny Chan raised from under the gun to 1,600, and Brett Richey made the call. John Juanda, who was next to act, raised it up to 7,800, and it folded back to Chan. He tossed in the call, which represented over half his stack, and Richey got out of the way.
Chan drew one card, while Juanda stood pat. Chan checked it over to Juanda, who fired out 10,000, which would have put Chan all in. Chan peeked down at his cards, and tossed them into the muck, leaving himself just 4,500. Meanwhile, Juanda is setting himself up for a repeat run at this event, as he is up to 62,000.
