Schemelev Folds Two Pair
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
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.

Obst Takes The Lead
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
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.

"Hellmuth Lucky Again"
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
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.
Hellmuth: /

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