Level 4 : 5,000/1,000, 0 ante

Phil Galfond, who still hasn't cashed in a lammer, was faced with an all-in bet of 195,000 from Ben Sulsky. He snap-called.

Galfond held as the board came {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and Sulsky now has 83,000 chips plus a lammer.

Bonomo Doubles Into Slight Lead

Level 4 : 5,000/1,000, 0 ante

At this point in the match, Warwick Mirzikinian had used both of his add-ons while Justin Bonomo had both sitting behind. Bonomo was down to his last 70,000 in play and got it all in before the flop holding {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs} against Mirzikinian's {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

The board dropped down {3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and Bonomo was able to secure a double with his pair of jacks. He now has 140,000 live chips with two add-ons behind to Mirzikinian's 500,000.

Melanie Weisner Down to Last Lammer

Level 4 : 5,000/1,000, 0 ante
Melanie Weisner is Down to Her Last Lammer Here in the Round of 16
Melanie Weisner is Down to Her Last Lammer Here in the Round of 16

We saw Melanie Weisner get the last of her second stack all-in with {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, but she was dominated when Randy Lew called with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

The flop of {J-}{9-}{10-} brought both players pairs, but Weisner was still in need of help, and two harmless board cards shipped the pot to the man known online as "nanonoko" online

Hellmuth Advances; Owes Ladouceur a Case of Dom

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth binks a ten to advance
Phil Hellmuth binks a ten to advance

Phil Hellmuth limped in on the button, Marc-Andre Ladouceur raised to 25,000, and Hellmuth made the call. Ladouceur led out for 22,000 on a flop of {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, the 13-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner called, and the turn brought the {j-Spades}.

Ladouceur moved all in for 153,000, sending Hellmuth deep into the tank.

"You have nines? Tens?" Hellmuth asked. "I've lost a lot of money making these calls. Hero calls."

Hellmuth then called, and as he suspected, he was behind.

Ladouceur: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Hellmuth: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Ladouceur was in great shape to double and get back into the match, but the {10-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Hellmuth a straight. Hellmuth shot out of his chair.

"Wow, what a suck out," he said apologetically. "Buddy you outplayed me today. I owe you a case of Dom [Pérignon]."

Hellmuth then went onto to explain to Ladouceur that he will be buying 30-40 bottles soon, and will certainly gift one to Ladouceur for the bad beat. He will also be playing the winner of the Mark Radoja/Alex Venovski match.

Pellegrino Doubles

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

The flop read {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} when we found Bryan Pellegrino check on over to Sean Winter who fired 23,000. Pellegrino made it 46,000 to go and Winter stuck around.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Pellegrino moved 32,000 into the center. Winter quickly called this bet and the river finished off the board with a third seven - the {7-Hearts}. Pellegrino moved all in for his last 118,000 (with one lammer behind). Winter called but mucked his hand after Pellegrino showed {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for sevens full of treys.

Pellegrino now has 585,000 in chips (one of which is an unused lammer worth 160,000) while Winter cashed in his final lammer and is sitting on 375,000.

Don Nguyen Wins One With Fourth Pair, Deuce Kicker

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Don Nguyen
Don Nguyen

With more than 200,000 already in the pot, and the board reading {8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, Don Nguyen moved all-in for his last 225,000 or so chips.

Craig Bergeron went into the tank for over a minute, before ultimately electing to look Nguyen up with {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for bottom pair, good kicker.

Perhaps surprised by being called so light, Nguyen hesitated a moment before opening up the {8-Clubs}{2-Spades} for fourth pair, no kicker, an inferior holding that somehow proved to be good.

Bergeron was agitated by Nguyen's delay in revealing the winning hand, asking "why don't you just turn it over when you're good there?"

"Because I have eight-deuce and I can't possibly be good when you call," replied Nguyen, with a smile spreading slowly across his face.

The frustration continued for Bergeron on the next hand, when he moved all-in before the flop for his last 130,000. After thinking it over for a moment or two, Nguyen released, and Bergeron's cards went sailing towards the dealer.

Two Streets of Value for nanonoko; Weisner Three-Bet Shoves

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Randy Lew called a raise from Melanie Weisner, and both players checked on a flop of {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Lew quickly fired out 16,000 when the {9-Clubs} turned, and Weisner called. The river was the {6-Hearts}, Lew led out for 25,000, and Weisner called.

Lew showed {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens, and won the pot.

The very next hand, Weisner three-bet shoved for around 170,000 over an open from Lew.

Lew sits with 455,000 in front of him, while Weisner has 185,000 and two lammers.
