Tai Nguyen
Tai Nguyen

On a {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Daniel Alaei put in the last bet and Tai Nguyen called. Alaei barreled the {2-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river off. Nguyen called the turn quickly but took nearly two minutes on the river — uncommon in this game — to settle on another call.

Alaei fanned out {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for deuces full and Nguyen mucked it.

Zhukov Scoops Bjorin

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Viacheslav Zhukov raised in the cutoff and Chris Bjorin called out of the big blind. On the {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, Bjorin checked and called a bet before doing so again on the {8-Hearts} turn. After the {A-Clubs} river, Bjorin checked the third street in a row and Zhukov bet, the start-of-the-day chip leader called.

Zhukov turned over the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for aces and jacks with a seven-deuce low. Bjorin carefully studied his cards and eventually showed the {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for the worse two pair. He didn't have a qualifying low and Zhukov scooped the entire pot.

Costly Misread for Parvizi

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With action on a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} in a three-way pot, action checked around between Iraj Parvizi, Mike Gorodinsky, and Scott Bohlman.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and Parvizi checked. Gorodinsky bet and Bohlman thought a while before folding. Parvizi called though.

On the {10-Spades} river, Parvizi checked. Gorodinsky bet. Parvizi raised. Gorodinsky raised again and finally Parvizi just called.

"Aces full," Gorodinsky said showing {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for a full house. Parvizi just had {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts} though for trip tens, so Gorodinsky scooped the pot.

"He misread his hand," Eli Elezra explained after the hand. "He asked me if he has to keep raising."

"It's a good thing he didn't keep raising then," Gorodinsky said.

"Mike was worried he had four tens," Elezra said, laughing.

"I'm not gonna lie," Gorodinsky said. "I did get a little scared when he asked how much he can raise."

With that pot, Gorodinsky approaches the 200,000 chip mark.

Mark Gregorich Eliminated

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Mark Gregorich
Mark Gregorich

The hand before, Mark Gregorich was left with 8,000 after losing against Steve Chanthabouasy. On a {7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board, Chanthabouasy had bet, Gregorich had called and Felipe Ramos tank-folded. Chanthabouasy showed {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} to leave Gregorich on fumes.

In the subsequent hand, Wayne Diep opened from middle position, Nikolai Yakovenko three-bet on the button, Gregorich called all in from the big blind and Diep called as well.

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Diep check-called a bet from Yakovenko. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Diep checked, Yakovenko bet, and Diep folded to bring the hand to showdown.

Mark Gregorich: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Nikolai Yakovenko: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}

"You got a low?" Yakovenko inquired shortly before the cards were tabled. Gregorich needed a king or trey if he was to survive, but the river was the {4-Diamonds} to make him the 43rd place finisher.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Calling the Clock With the Brains Behind the Scene of RG - Real Grinders Eric Shimp gives us an 88 second glimpse into the brain power behind the new fad. What is Eric like away from his poker business and does he know the different types of Australian alcohol? Who was his biggest crush and what music does he like? Calling the clock is powered by 888 poker and this time it's a business leader. Will he understand the Aussie language and Danielle's accent while his 88 seconds ticks down?

Hellmuth's Fuse Lit, But Correctly Folds

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Eli Elezra opened with a raise and he was called by Iraj Parvizi, Phil Hellmuth on the button, Jonathan Depa in the small blind and Scott Bohlman in the big blind.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and action checked to Hellmuth who bet. Depa raised and everyone else folded. Hellmuth called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Depa bet again. Hellmuth picked up his cards immediately and started muttering to himself.

"What are they doing to me," Hellmuth said. "They've been playing this shit all day and I've only raised on two flops."

"I will lay 1000 to 1 that he's folding," Elezra said, laughing.

Eventually, Hellmuth did fold, showing {K-}{K-}{A-}{6-} for the second nut low and a pair of kings. After the hand, Depa told Hellmuth that he did in fact have {a-}{3-} for the nut low and a straight, meaning that Hellmuth made the correct fold.

White Takes Some; Pezzin Busts

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

There was some confusion on a a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} about whether or not Talon White meant to call or raise against Paul Volpe as he had put out two T-5,000 chips and the floor was called. It was deemed to be a call only and White was reminded to be more careful and verbally announce if he wanted to raise.

One more bet each went in after the {K-Diamonds} turn and the {K-Hearts} river was checked, White tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} and that ended up as the winner.

In the meantime, Pat Pezzin had been eliminated on a different table after being all in for just 7,000. He could not beat the nut low of Anthony Zinno and the second nut flush of Steven Wolansky.
