Matheson Still in the Lead

Shirley Ang

Level 26 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The board read and there was about 115,000 in the middle already. Royce Matheson was up first and decided to bet 86,000 which sent Wolansky into the tank.

"Will you show me if I fold?" Wolansky asked Matheson.

"I don't think I can show you this one bud!" Matheson replied.

Wolansky scratched his head, looked at his cards once more. "Oh I don't know.." he mumbled to himself. He flipped one of his chips and then folded.

James Worth Takes the Chip Lead

LisaY

Level 26 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

James Worth just got all of his chips all-in and once again, it was his tournament life on the line in a hand against Phil Hellmuth.

Hellmuth had opened to 21,000 from the button and Worth moved all in for 129,000 from the big blind. It was a snap-call for Hellmuth and they flipped their cards on their backs.

Hellmuth was the one who needed to hit as they headed into the flop. It came , giving Worth a flush draw and Hellmuth now needed a king to hit Broadway. The turn locked it up for Worth with the nut flush and the river made no difference.

Worth has nabbed the chip lead but at the same time, this is the most even-stacked the players have been since playing three-handed.

It was off to the races as the pair went heads up to the flop and it came down . Hellmuth was still looking for a queen or an ace to stay in the game but he couldn't find either on the turn or river and he left in third place.
