Cada Makes the Hero Call

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joe Cada opened in early position for 2,200 and got three callers, going four ways to the flop.

The flop hit {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and the action checked all the way through to the turn, which came the {8-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, the big blind put in a min-bet of 1,500, and Cada raised to 3,700. A player in middle position called, the small blind folded, and the big blind called the raise.

The river brought the {j-Diamonds}, and the big blind checked. Cada checked, and the middle position player put in a bet for 7,400. The big blind folded, and Cada tanked for several minutes, before finally making the call with his {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The middle position player showed the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}, his bluff having failed against the four-time bracelet winner.

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth kept his tournament hopes alive after seeing his stack dwindle to 14,500, getting all of his chips in on a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. An opponent in the small blind called, and the 15-time WSOP bracelet winner showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped straight.

The small blind got no help on the turn and river, and Hellmuth doubled up to 29,000.

"Did you have a flush draw?" Hellmuth asked, to which his opponent confirmed. "And you called off 10k with that?"
