Markus Garberg

Markus Garberg moved all in for 31,500 from under the gun and the action folded to Samuel Touil, who shoved over the top from the button. Both blinds folded and the action was heads up.

Garberg took one card and Touil stood pat, showing {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}.

Garberg showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-} and he was looking to catch a nine, seven, five or deuce in order to stay alive. Garberg squeezed his final card and stood up as soon as he discovered it was a paint card. Garberg tabled a {J-} and hit the rail in 14th place.

Action folded to Chris Viox in the small blind and he shoved for about 16,000. Markus Garberg called in the big blind and when Viox stood pat, Garberg went into the tank for about three minutes. He opted not to break his hand and stood pat, much to the dismay of Viox.

"Bad jack," said Viox.

"Same," said Garberg, as he tabled {J-}{10-}{8-}{5-}{3-}.

Viox took another look at his hand, but mucked, surrendering the pot to Garberg.

Phil Hellmuth raised to 8,000 in the hijack and action folded to Steven Wolansky in the small blind.

"How much do you have behind?" asked Wolansky.

"About 7,000," replied Hellmuth. "If you give it to me, I promise I'll put it to good use."

Wolansky called after a few moments and both players proceeded to draw one.

"It would have been more fun to go all in before the draw," remarked Hellmuth.

Wolansky bet 7,000 effective and Hellmuth called for his tournament life. Wolansky tabled {10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}, besting Hellmuth's {Q-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} to send the 13-time bracelet winner to the rail in 18th place.

The action started with a raise from Steven Wolansky who made it 3,600 to go. Scott Blackman called from the small blind after Phil Hellmuth three-bet up to 9,500.

Wolansky folded quickly, but Blackman took his time.

"I'll take this one kid, you'll take the next," Hellmuth told his opponent, but Blackman ultimately made the call.

Blackman took one card and Hellmuth stood pat.

Blackman slowly looked at his card before putting in a hefty bet of 21,300.

"Come on!" Hellmuth yelled as he got up from his seat.

"They play so bad! They just try to bluff it off against the best player in the world," Hellmuth sighed.

"How do these people even get this far, calling two raises out of position and then drawing," Hellmuth added.

After a while, Hellmuth flashed {10-}{9-}{8-}{7-}{5-} and folded his cards, leaving himself with 38,000 chips.

On the very last hand before the break we lost former World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up John Racener. Racener was all in for about 4,100 and was called by Scott Abrams.

Racener drew a jack-low, while Abrams improved his {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-} with an {8-} to take down this pot.

After an opening raise, Chris Viox reraised to 7,000 and Bryce Yockey responded with a four-bet from the big blind to, what looked like, 17,000. After a fold from the original raiser, Viox moved all in and Yockey called for about 40,000 total.

"Pat," Yockey said.

"Pat," Viox quickly responded and Yockey was in trouble.

Yockey showed {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{3-} and that was no good against Viox's {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}. Yockey collects a min cash while Viox is one of the chip leaders.
