On a {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board, both Chris Vitch and Ryan Miller checked to a third player who was all in for 5,000. The pair called and the river {q-Diamonds} was checked by both players.

Chris Vitch: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} - ace-high
Ryan Miller: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} - two pair
All-in Player: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} - ace-high

With no low, Miller's hand was best and sent a player to the rail.

Bendor and Guagenti In the Lead

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Yarron Bendor and Nick Guagenti have pulled away from the rest of the field while Johannes Becker has dropped a lot of chips as of recently.

Bendor was also involved in the latest hand on their table, on which the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} river was checked through. Larry Kantor rolled over {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for two pair and a live trey, while Tom Koral tabled his {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for superior two pair. Bendor mucked and Kantor claimed the low pot, Koral the high pot.

Hellmuth Chops then Doubles

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Getting it in with {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} against the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} of Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth made a straight on the {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. The turn {5-Clubs} changed nothing, but the {4-Diamonds} river gave Ivey a low and the pair chopped.

Two hands later Hellmuth was all in from the button against Philip Sternheimer in the small blind.

Phil Hellmuth: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Sternheimer: {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board was {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} giving Hellmuth a straight and doubling up. He remains short.
