Level 19
Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

Stud Hi-Lo

Marco Johnson: {x-}{x-}/{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}/{x-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-}/{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}/{x-}
Benny Glaser: {x-}{x-}/{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}/{x-}

Action was picked up as Johnson was tossing in his last remaining chips in on fourth street and was all-in for less. Hellmuth completed the bet, and Glaser called, creating a side pot.

Fifth Street saw a bet by Hellmuth and a call by Glaser.

Sixth street Hellmuth slowed down and checked. Glaser bet and Hellmuth called.

Seventh street saw Hellmuth check and fold to Glaser's bet. Glaser tabled his hole cards of {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and scooped the entire pot with a diamond flush after Johnson showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair, aces and queens.

With this pot, Glaser is the first player above the two million chip mark.

Matusow Left On Fumes

Level 19

Omaha Hi-Lo

After defending the big blind, Mike Matusow bet the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} turn and was called by Philip Sternheimer in an early position. They checked the {7-Hearts} and Sternheimer revealed {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

"I have aces and sixes and a live three," Matusow announced and revealed the {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. It was no good as Sternheimer scooped it all.

Matusow dropped to just two big bets while Roland Israelashvili had previously more than doubled.

Matusow Felted by Klein

Level 19

Mike Matusow

Razz

Roland Israelashvili chipped up without showdown and Mike Matusow was then all-in on third street, picking up a call by Jesse Klein.

Mike Matusow: {7-}{2-} / {4-}{5-}{q-}{8-} / {8-}
Jesse Klein: {a-}{8-} / {2-}{2-}{7-}{j-} / {3-}

The tendency switched on every street as Matusow and Klein traded the momentum. Klein then peeled the unlikely trey as the final card and Matusow was shell-shock. Some treys were already gone and he revealed the {8-} as final card to bust in 16th place.

Monnette Catches a Cold Runout

Level 19

Razz

John Monnette: {a-}{9-} / {6-}{7-}{j-}{10-} / {q-}
Cary Katz: {4-}{8-} / {q-}{10-}{q-}{2-} / {a-}

John Monnette completed with just 15,000 behind and Cary Katz, as the bring-in, then raised, Monnette called all-in.

Until fifth, Monnette had a commanding lead as Katz caught two paint cards. However, he then got more paint himself with a ten while Katz spiked a deuce on sixth. Sure enough, Katz flipped over an {a-} as the final card and Monnette's fate ended with yet another queen for a rather cold runout.

Hellmuth "Wins This One"

Level 19

Seven Card Stud

Phil Hellmuth: {a-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Ben Yu: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds} fold
Cary Katz: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} fold

Ben Yu completed with a five and Phil Hellmuth raised, Cary Katz called. While Yu was pondering about his decision, Hellmuth said "I'll take this one." Yu then folded and Katz bet his pair of sevens on fourth, Hellmuth called.

Katz checked fifth and Hellmuth bet to force a fold. "I'd fold aces against you but not aces and treys," Hellmuth admitted in table chat and flipped over ace-try for two pair.
