An under-the-gun player opened for 600 and Trevor Pope called from the small blind. The big blind came along too, and three players saw a flop of 
. Two checks saw the original raiser bet 800, only Pope called, and then both players checked the 
turn. Action repeated itself on the 
river and Pope showed a

On a flop of

Ausmus Runs Out of Lives
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
We noticed that Jeremy Ausmus was no longer at Table 15, and a quick check with Tony Dunst confirmed that he had been eliminated.
As Dunst explained, Cary Katz opened with a raise and Ausmus three-bet to 1,625. Katz pushed back with a four-bet to 4,675, Ausmus called, and the two saw a 
flop. From there, Katz bet 6,100 and then called when Ausmus moved all in for roughly 17,000.
Ausmus: 
Katz: 
Both players held overpairs to the board, but of course the queens of Katz were best. The 
turn was of no consequence, and neither was the river. Just like that, Ausmus has been eliminated from the tournament.

"Golf Money"
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
Famed poker television producer Mori Eskandani, the man responsible for Poker PROductions (the company that films the WSOP), made his way into the Brasilia Room in search of Phil Hellmuth. When he located him over at Table 26, Hellmuth's face lit up.
"Golf money," Hellmuth exclaimed as Eskandani slapped a wad of cash in his hand. Eskandani just smiled and walked away. Hellmuth then turned to Matt Salsberg and Jonathan Duhamel, who were both seated at the other end of the table, and explained that he had been doing quite well in gold as of late.
"Somehow when I drive the ball it stays in place," Hellmuth laughed. "When that happens everyone is in trouble."
Hellmuth, who is just a few days removed from finishing runner-up in Event #7: $1,500 Seven-Card Razz, continued to chat it up while Duhamel and Salsberg just smiled and nodded.
