Hellmuth Planning Tomorrow's Tournaments

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We didn't see what happened, but Phil Hellmuth has no chips left in this tournament.

When we saw him he was exchanging goodbyes and good lucks with all his tablemates and planning out his schedule for tomorrow.

"There's a limit hold'em tournament tomorrow night," he said just before he made his way out of the tournament area.

Leah Eliminated

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Mike Leah's tournament is over after his opponent's high hand held to scoop the full pot.

The chips went in on a {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop, Leah holding {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a low draw, while his opponent held {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top set. The turn was the {10-Spades} and the river the {3-Hearts}, making no low possible and busting Leah.

"Have fun everyone," said Leah as he gathered his belongings and headed to the exits.

Friends Reunited

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Lisandro, fresh from finishing fourth in the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball event this evening, has flicked in the $3,000 required to participate in this event and is vying for another WSOP final table appearance.

Lisandro is seated three seats away from Mel Judah, a player he will know extremely well. Although Lisandro prefers to be known as Italian, he is Australian-born and will have clashed with Judah on numerous occasions in Australia and around the world.

How Much Do You Weigh?

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Things have taken an interesting turn at Jeff Madsen and Gavin Smith's table. Now almost everyone at the table is betting on one person at the tables weight, with the winner collecting $20 from each person involved in the bet. One gentleman, who's name we did not catch, managed to guess two of the last questions in a row, netting himself close to $240.

"We've gotta stop letting this kid get in here," Smith said after the bet.

Before the flop there was a raise to 2,000 and four callers, one of those callers was Allyn Jaffrey Shulman.

On the flop of {5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} Shulman found herself all in against two other players. She was holding {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and was behind one opponent who had flopped two pair. The board ran out {X-Diamonds}{X-Diamonds} putting no low on the board and scooping the huge pot for Shulman without having to chop.

"Scooopy doopy dooo," Shulman sung to her opponents after the hand.

Matusow Turns a Wheel and Doubles Up

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow has doubled to 11,350 after scooping both the high and low of a hand that went down moments ago.

Matusow was all-in and at risk of elimination on a {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, where he held {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} fo his opponent. The {A-Hearts} turn improved Matusow's opponent to a set of aces, but also Matusow to the wheel straight. Matusow needed to avoid the board pair or an ace in order to win both parts of the pot, and he did just that as the river was the {K-Diamonds}.

"It's such a crazy game, " said Matusow as he stacked his new chips.
