[user101598]

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Phil Hellmuth: / /
Mike Leah: / /
Daniel Idema: / /

Leah brought it in, Idema completed, and both Hellmuth and Leah called. Leah checked on fourth, Idema bet, and both Leah and Hellmuth called again. The same action occurred on fifth, although Hellmuth called the hand "tricky" before he called, and on sixth, Leah made kings up.

Thinking that Leah checked, Idema fired out a bet. He then realized his error, pulled his chips back, then tossed them out again when Leah actually checked. Hellmuth called while laughing, Leah check-raised, and Idema called. Hellmuth then raised, Leah re-raised, Idema tank-folded, and Hellmuth capped the action. Leah called.

Leah check-called a bet on seventh, and the hands were opened.

Leah:
Hellmuth:

The two chopped the pot, and we are now on the exact money bubble.

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Barbara Enright: /
Matt Savage: /
Dave Fox: /

Picking up the action on sixth street, Barbara Enright checked to Matt Savage who bet. Both Dave Fox and Enright called to see seventh street where the same action occurred.

"Straight eight," announced Savage, showing down cards of . Fox flashed for defeated kings up, while Enright tabled for a better low than Savage.

Enright, though, stood up from her chair and turned around to speak to a friend on the rail. Her hand was turned face down by the dealer, but away from the muck. As Savage was being awarded the entire pot, Enright turned back around and explained that she had the better low. Since the cards were retrievable, and since she tabled her hand, it was worked out without an issue.
