Noam Jams on Hellmuth

Level 7 : 200/400, 400 ante

No-Limit 5-Card Draw

Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind and Danny Noam called on the button.

"This is a rematch!" Noam shouted, indicating some previous clash.

Hellmuth peeled two, Noam three, and Hellmuth fired 4,600. Noam asked how much was the bet and then he moved all in for about 25,000 or so, playing a similar stack to Hellmuth's.

"Come on, this is a f***ing joke," Hellmuth said in disgust, slamming his cards towards the muck.

"What the f**k is going on," Hellmuth continued.

Noam started to laugh and so did Eli Elezra.

"Don't worry, you'll give it all back," Hellmuth added.

Hastings Eliminates One

Level 7 : 200/400, 400 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Draw

Shaun Deeb made it 1,300 in the hijack, Coey Couden three-bet to 4,100 on Deeb's left, and Brian Hastings jammed for around 26,000 from the small blind. His neighbor in the big blind called off for his 10,000 or so and Deeb and Couden both laid their respective hands down.

Hastings drew one against a pat ten and he got there as he spiked a nine to finish with {9-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}.

Hellmuth Forces Fold from Noam

Level 7 : 200/400, 400 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth and Danny Noam made it to the river of the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board with over 11,000 in the middle. Hellmuth fired 9,000 out of the big blind and Noam, who was in the cutoff, thought for a moment.

"I should've bet the flop," Noam said after folding his hand, claiming that he had {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Becker Extracts Value from Top Two

Level 7 : 200/400, 400 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Johannes Becker and Joao Vieira went to a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} for 1,200 apiece. Vieira checked in the cutoff and Becker fired 2,300 in position, earning a call.

The {10-Spades} turn was checked by both players and a {6-Diamonds} landed on the river. Vieira checked one more time and Becker bet 6,000.

Vieira spent three minutes processing the situation, and another player called a clock. Vieira received 30 seconds to act and he called just before the start of a verbal five-second countdown. Becker, however, had the winner with {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.
