Rystadt Doubles Through Geci

Level 19 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The flop read {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Curtis Rystadt was all-in for 51,200 from the small blind and Endrit Geci called on the button with the bigger stack.

"It was nice playing with you Curtis!" Richard Alati said.

Curtis Rystadt: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Endrit Geci: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Rystadt had two over cards and Geci had flopped top pair.

The rest of the board was completed with the {J-Clubs} on the turn to give Rystadt the higher pair and the {k-Diamonds} on the river didn't change the situation. Rystadt doubled up.

"What I meant is, it is so nice playing with you, I don't want you to leave!" Alati quipped quickly.

Double Up for Hellmuth

Level 19 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth had been the short stack for a while but after the last hand, he is not anymore. After a 3,500 open from Nikolai Sears, James Worth, Phil Hellmuth and Jack Shea all came along to see a flop.

The dealer put out {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and it was checked all round. It was the {a-Spades} turned that generated the action though. After three checks, Hellmuth put 7,000 over the line and Shea upped it to 17,000. This got everyone else out of the way and Hellmuth moved all-in for just 8,400 more. It was a snap-call from Shea and they turned their cards on their backs.

Phil Hellmuth: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Jack Shea: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

There were just two outs to pull this one back for Shea and but the {9-Hearts} river was safe for Hellmuth and he collected. This left Shea the shortest at the table.

Buck Pressures Hellmuth

Level 19 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The flop showed {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Hellmuth bet 5,000 and was faced with a reraise of 34,900, which was effectively all-in for the 14 times bracelet winner. Hellmuth passed and Buck garners a nice addition to his stack.

Alexander Lakhov
Alexander Lakhov

There was an open to 2,600 by Nikolai Sears on the button and a three-bet to 8,600 by Alexander Lakhov.

The dealer put {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} out on the flop and it went check-check.

On to the {8-Spades} turn and this time Lakhov made a bet of 7,000. Sears made the call.

Finally, the river came {5-Diamonds} and Lakhov barreled, making it 11,000. It was enough to get a fold and he took down the pot.

Table #401 Update

Level 18 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Artur Rudziankov raised to 2,700 and only Scott Blumstein called in the small blind.

Rusziankov bet 3,000 when the {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs} came on the flop and Blumstein check-called.

They both checked on the {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Spades} on the river. Blumstein said he had queen-high and Rudziankov tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} which was good enough to take the pot.

Hellmuth Pulls a Little Back

Level 18 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The last few hands have been opened from under-the-gun and in the most recent, it was Thomas Taylor who started the ball rolling with a raise to 2,500. He found two calls from the blinds, from HHellmuth in the small and Shea in the big.

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and it was checked all round. The {a-Diamonds} turn saw a 6,000 lead from Hellmuth and it netted him the pot. "What, you didn't have ace-king?" He asked as he scooped the chips.
