Zhen Pulls Off Savage Bluff

Level 12 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Cai Zhen three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind and Jon Turner called in the hijack. Zhen took one and Turner peeled three.

"You're probably going to bet," Turner analyzed. Zhen fired no less than the pot-sized bet of 16,000. Turner called.

Zhen stood pat and Turner changed two.

"Now you're probably going to shove," Turner said.

Zhen potted one more time, putting in virtually all of his chips in play. Turner folded and Zhen picked one of his cards and flipped the {k-Clubs}.

Benyamine Sinks Belianin

Level 12 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

With roughly 25,000 in the pot, Georgii Belianin and David Benyamine were on the river of the {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board. Belianin checked in the small blind and Benyamine fired 22,300 from the cutoff. Belianin thought for a while and then called, but Benyamine had the nuts with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Belianin was left with around 40,000 but Benyamine took the rest of it in the following minutes, eliminating Belianin in pot-limit deuce.

Pollock Falls to O'Hara

Level 12 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Ian O'Hara, Phil Hellmuth, and Josh Pollock all needed two on the first draw and the betting round was checked. O'Hara and Pollock changed two again while Hellmuth peeled only one.

O'Hara checked, Hellmuth bet 6,000, and Pollock moved all in for 19,100.

Hellmuth stormed out of his chair. "This is f***ing crazy."

O'Hara moved all in and Hellmuth looked at his cards one more time before folding.

O'Hara stood pat and Pollock took well over a minute to decide whether to break his hand or not. He eventually patted, showing {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} but O'Hara tabled {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} to eliminate his opponent with a wheel.
