Hellmuth Takes from Selbst

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Vanessa Selbst raised to either 7,000 or 6,000 on the button; both Phil Hellmuth and Matthew Ashton called from the blinds. Hellmuth and Ashton both checked on a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Selbst continued for 11,500 and Hellmuth check-raised to 23,000. Only Selbst called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, Hellmuth checked again and Selbst fired out 26,500. Hellmuth called.

The river was the {4-Spades}, both players checked and Hellmuth took the pot with {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for jacks and nines.

Eyster Devoured by Busquet

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Kevin Eyster
Kevin Eyster

Kevin Eyster got his stack of 70,000 or so all in preflop and was flipping against Olivier Busquet.

Eyster: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Busquet: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Eyster got it in good, but the {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop was disaster for him as Busquet found a pair of kings. The {9-Diamonds} turn meant Eyster needed an eight to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the {6-Hearts} blanked.

"Good game guys," were his final words before he exited the tournament area.

Big Slick Does the Trickett

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Fabrice Touil opened for 8,500 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Sam Trickett in the big blind. Trickett announced that he was all in for 50,800, and Touil thought for about a minute before making the call.

Touil: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Trickett: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Touil was drawing to two live cards, but he failed to find any help as the board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Al Decarolis Doubles Through Vanessa Selbst

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Al Decarolis (cutoff) and Vanessa Selbst (small blind) went back and forth before Decarolis ended up all in for 118,500 with {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} against Selbst's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}. The {9-Hearts} river was no help to Selbst, locking up the double for Decarolis.

Check-Raising the River

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Mike Brady checked to Sam Trickett on a flop of {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and the BIG ONE for ONE DROP runner-up tossed out a bet of 9,000. Brady called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, both players checked and the {6-Clubs} completed the board. Brady checked a third and final time, Trickett bet 13,000 and Brady check-raised to 13,000. Trickett considered the bet for a bit, then folded.

Mizrachi Bleeding Chips

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Mizrachi began the day with a big stack, but in the past two levels he's done nothing but give them away.

Most recently, Mizrachi opened for 7,000 from the button and then called when Chris Moore three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind. Both players checked the {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop and Moore led out for 15,000 on the {A-Diamonds} turn. Mizrachi min-raised to 30,000, Moore called and it was off to the {J-Hearts} river.

Moore returned to checking and Mizrachi wasted little time in firing out 45,000. Moore only had 49,300 total and committed it, which Mizrachi called. Moore rolled over the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a full house, and Mizrachi simply shook his head and flashed an ace.

Schulman Doubles with Quads

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Nick Schulman got his stack of 75,000 or so all in preflop holding the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and was up against the {a-}{q-} of Galen Hall. The {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop gave Schulman a set, but it also delivered Hall a Broadway draw. However, Schulman didn't have to worry about it after the turn, since the {10-Hearts} gave him quads!

The {8-Spades} was put out on the river for good measure and Schulman was shipped the double.

Table 359 Chip Counts

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Julius Takes on Gross; Lucky Chewy Gone

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Jeff Gross opened for 7,000 under the gun and was met by an all-in three-bet to 68,600 by Kyle Julius in the hijack. Action folded back to Gross and he hemmed and hawed before making the call.

Gross: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Julius: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a flip and Gross was looking good to eliminate a tough opponent on the {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. The {4-Hearts} turn kept Gross in the lead, but then the dealer delivered the {A-Spades} on the river. Gross shook his head up and down and then said, "That's the hand I lost with the second before I came here."

Meanwhile, Andrew Lichtenberger was eliminated by Aaron Jones shortly after the aforementioned hand.
