Freddie Ellis: / 
Richard Ashby: / 
— fold
Picking up the action on fourth street, Ashby checked to Ellis, who bet. Ashby called, and then on fifth street, Ellis was showing the best hand with a pair of jacks on his board. He led with a bet, and Ashby called.
On sixth street, Ellis' board got even better when he added a queen and was showing two pair. He led with a bet, and Ashby folded.
Ellis, who won this event in 2009 for $373,751 and then placed third in last year's $2,500 version for $59,127, dragged the pot and moved to 102,000 in chips. Ashby was left with 184,000.

On seventh street we picked up the action when Steve Landfish bet after Vladimir Schemelev had checked. Schemelev's board looked very dangerous, but that didn't prevent Landfish from betting. Schemelev ultimately folded and the former runner-up in this event took down the pot.

On seventh street we saw Nikolay Losev turned over 
, but his two pair were no good. Henry Orenstein turned over a bigger two pair, aces and tens, and he doubled his stack back up to 70,000 chips.

James Obst and John Cernuto just played a big pot and the former managed to take it down. Jesse Martin completed after Nikolay Losev had the bring in and Cernuto raised. Obst three-bet and the action folded back to Cernuto who made the call.
On fourth street Cernuto bet with the high board and Obst called. On fifth Obst hit a pair and checked, Cernuto checked behind. Sixth street gave Obst two pair up and he checked to Cernuto's dangerous looking board. Cernuto bet and Obst check-raised, which got Cernuto to laugh.
Cernuto ultimately called and on seventh he called another bet when Obst threw out one more 6,000-chip bet.

Obst showed

The title of this post is brought to you by Richard Ashby.
"That's what the title should be," Ashby said with a smile after he lost a crazy hand against Phil Hellmuth.
"You know what the real write-up should be," Hellmuth said, "'Chufty plays 80% of the pots and Hellmuth folds 60% of them and plays patiently.'"
Cyndy Violette chimed in that she wasn't too happy with this table, as Ashby's aggressive style kept her options of playing pots limited.
"Are you kidding me?" Hellmuth said, "I wanna play with Chufty all day! I mean, he might win all my chips, but still," Hellmuth jokingly said.
The atmosphere at this table is friendly and jovial, but the poker action most certainly not.
We just saw Hellmuth bet on fourth street and Ashby called. On fifth street, Hellmuth bet again with a pair of kings showing and Ashby called. Sixth street gave Hellmuth three of a kind showing and when he bet, Ashby open-folded his rolled up eights.

Ashby: /

Hellmuth, with three of a kind showing, smiled and showed the 
as well, as he had collected all the kings in the deck.
