Farah Galfond

Farah Galfond was all in pre-draw for her last 2,900 from the big blind against Kyle Miaso in the small blind. The first draw went three and two. The second draw went one and two and the final draw went pat and two.

Miaso tabled {q-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} and Galfond showed {10-}{8-}{5-}{2-}. She was in need of a jack or lower that did not pair her hand. Unfortunately for her, she turned over {10-Spades} and paired her ten, eliminating her from the tournament.

Yuri Dzivielevski opened from the hijack and was three-bet by Phil Hellmuth out of the small blind. The big blind folded and Dzivielevski called. Hellmuth drew one and Dzivielevski two. After the draw, Hellmuth bet and Dzivielevski raised. Hellmuth called and both players stood pat. After the second draw, Hellmuth checked to Dzivielevski, who put in a bet. Hellmuth called and both players stood pat on the final draw. Hellmuth then check-called Dzivielevski's bet on the end.

"Eight-seven perfect," Dzivielevski said.

"No good," said Hellmuth, putting his chips back into his stack.

"Eight-seven, you said?" Hellmuth said as he tabled {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

Dzivielevski saw Hellmuth's hand and confirmed his own was no good, sending his cards into the muck and finding himself with nothing but a few T$100 chips in front of him.

Melancon Showered, Hoeppner Wins Multi-Way Pot With Wheel

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Joseph Melancon committed his final 1,000 chips from under the gun, letting the entire table know he was all in. James Hoeppner limped from the hijack and John Seiter limped behind him in the cutoff. Carol Fuchs was on the button and put in a raise, which both Hoeppner and Seiter called. Melancon stood pat before Hoeppner, Seiter, and Fuchs all drew two cards. Action for the side pot then saw Hoeppner check, Seiter bet, and both Fuchs and Hoeppner call.

Second draws went pat, two, one, one and Hoeppner checked to Seiter, who again bet. Fuchs folded and Hoeppner put in a check-raise. Seiter made the call. On the final draw, Melancon drew two after standing pat during the previous two draws. "Miracle, please!" he pleaded to the dealer. Both Hoeppner and Seiter stood pat and Hoeppner bet out on the end, prompting Seiter to call. All three players then tabled their hands at showdown.

James Hoeppner: {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
John Seiter: {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
Joseph Melancon: {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{3-}

Melancon drew to a pair of threes and his cry for a miracle was not answered as Hoeppner raked in the pot with a wheel.
