Waxman vs. Raghavan

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Ravi Raghavan checked to Matt Waxman on a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

"It's on me?" Waxman asked, when the dealer motioned in his direction. "Seven."

He splashed forward 700, and Raghavan immediately called.

"Easy, Ravi," Waxman told him.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds}, and Raghavan opted to lead out, tossing forward 1,200. Waxman tanked for a bit, then raised to 3,700. Raghavan called.

The {3-Spades} completed the board, Raghavan checked, and Waxman plopped 6,600 in front of him. Raghavan tanked for longer than he had on any other street, then folded.

With the board reading {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, Ty Reiman and an opponent go back and forth before Reiman's opponent winds up all in for about 17,000 with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Reiman was ahead with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and dodged his opponent's outs as the {K-Diamonds} river locked up the pot for him.

Silverman Five-Bets All In

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Steven Silverman opened under-the-gun and received a call from Phil Hellmuth. The player in the cutoff 3-bet to 1,450 but that was not the end of it at all. John Racener in the small blind made the 4-bet to 3,400 with about 10,000 behind. The big blind quickly folded but Silverman had other plans. He eyed the stacks of the aggressors behind him and eventually announced all in for about 11,500 total.

Hellmuth snap folded and, after giving it some thoughts, the cutoff also folded. Racener took ten seconds tops and then also threw his hand in the muck. Silverman gained a lot of chips and didn't even have to show his hand for it.

Sam Stein raised to 1,025 on the button, Jonathan Little three-bet to 2,300 from the big blind, and Stein responded with a four-bet to 5,200. Little made the call.

The dealer fanned {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, Little checked, and Stein continued for 4,600. Little immediately folded, and Stein raked in the pot.

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

The tournament is now free of any Dutch players as Tobias Peters just busted. We haven't seen any other Dutch players in the tournament today so with that we're free of the orange one-man army.

A Baker's Dozen

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Registration closed at the end of the 30-minute dinner break, and the final few players are filing into the Pavilion Room. One of those players is 13-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who just strode in decked in all black as usual.

Along with his all-time record of 13 bracelets, Hellmuth has over $17.8 million in career earnings. In 1988 he won his first live tournament, taking down a $200 Pot of Gold event in Reno, and a year later he won the Main Event. In 2012, Hellmuth added numbed 12 in Event #18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz, and then he locked up number 13 in Cannes, winning the WSOPE Main Event.

We'll certainly keep our eyes on Mr. Hellmuth as he eyes number 14, and tries to extend his lead against Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and the rest of the multiple bracelet winners.
