Blumenthal Gets a Fold From Hellmuth

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind, who completed. Eddie Blumenthal checked his option from the big.

Hellmuth proceeded to bet and get called on the {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and {j-Diamonds} turn, but slowed down and checked on the {q-Diamonds} river. Blumenthal bet and Hellmuth folded after a bit of thought.

"Relax Phil, you're gonna trap 'em anytime now," Hellmuth said under his breath.

Milchman Takes Three-Quarters

Level 19 : 15,000/25,000, 0 ante

Zachary Milchman was short after paying off the full house of Ari Engel the previous hand. Engel opened on the button and Milchman moved all-in for slightly more in the small blind and Ben Landowski called in the big blind.

The flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-} went check-check and Engel bet on the {8-Spades} turn. Landowski folded.

Zachary Milchman: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Ari Engel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{k-Spades} and Milchman was entitled to three-quarters of the pot, saving himself from elimination.

The {8-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} turn left Hellmuth with two pair — eliminating Paul Volpe in 14th place.

Phil Hellmuth, who just switched tables, sat down between Eddie Blumenthal and Dylan Linde with a large sandwich in hand and took a bite.

"I go through a lot of energy when I play," Hellmuth remarked.

"I eat so much."
