Phil Hellmuth and Barry Hartheimer had been clashing on many occasions today, but that is all over now. Hellmuth just knocked his opponent out and luckily for us there was still plenty of chit chat going on during that final hand between the two.
With the flop reading Hellmuth was first to act from the small blind and he threw out 5,000. "That's a little much there buddy!," Hartheimer said within a second and Hellmuth realized he could only put in 2,500. "Well I raise," Hartheimer said making it 5,000 on his own part. The third player folded and Hellmuth said, "You just wanna get it all in now?," pressuring Hartheimer who wasn't going to back down out of this one. Hellmuth put in another raise making it 7,500 and Hartheimer called with 9,500 chips left behind.
The turn was the and Hellmuth bet 5,000. "Well now we can get it in," Hartheimer laughed as he put in his last chips. Obviously Hellmuth followed with the call immediately and said, "Well I've got top set. What do you got Barry?". Hartheimer showed as he said, "You shouldn't have even been in the hand with two queens", as he was looking for a blank on the river. Hellmuth had and when the river brought out the Hellmuth hit his full house. "I never thought it wasn't gonna come. I had one coming," Hellmuth said with a smile as Hartheimer shouted, "Payout on table #428".
Phil Hellmuth is doing very well so far and with Hartheimer gone he looks to get full control of this table.
Dutch Boyd is amassing a tidy stack, some thanks to winning a four-way pot just now.
The flop was out as and David "Bakes" Baker led for 2,500 from under the gun. A player in the next seat called along with Boyd, with the big blind passing.
No more chips ventured into the middle as all three checked the turn and river down.
Allen Bari has five times his starting stack from today. Not bad considering he has Dutch Boyd, Ryan Lenaghan and David "Bakes" Baker at his table.
He just scooped a 20k-plus pot to pass the 100k mark.
He was in the small blind and called a button raise along with the big blind. The flop fell and he check-raised the button's continuation bet, and called when he was three-bet. The big blind folded in between.
Both players checked the turn before Bari's river bet () was called.
He is not quite there yet but Tyler Schwecke is doing very well today at a tough table with Men Nguyen, Chris Klodnicki, John O'Shea and Shaun Deeb. Schwecke was just involved in two pots, and even though he didn't scoop any of them a nice profit was still made.
On the first hand the board read when Deeb and Schwecke checked to O'Shea who bet 4,000. Deeb made the call from the blinds and Schwecke decided to raise. O'Shea tanked for a bit before three-betting to 12,000 and Deeb quickly folded. Schwecke called giving us heads up river action. The river was the and both players checked. Schwecke turned over for a full house and an ace-seven low. O'Shea tabled for the same low and just a pair of kings, and after initially thinking he got half he had to settle for a quarter.
The very next hand Schwecke raised and both O'Shea and Deeb called. On a flop it got checked to O'Shea who bet 2,000 and both his opponents called. The turn was the and all three players checked. The river was the and Deeb checked to Schwecke who threw out 4,000. O'Shea tanked and folded but Deeb wasn't going anywhere. He called and Schwecke announced "Ace high." Deeb waited for Schwecke to turn over his ace with a bunch of low cards to be sure that his was the winning high hand since there was no low possible on this board. Deeb picked up half the pot but so did Schwecke who is up to 88,000 chips.
