"I eat so much."

Paul Volpe

Paul Volpe raised first-to-act and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the hijack and Robert Mizrachi in the big blind.

The flop came {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Mizrachi checked to Volpe, who went all in. Hellmuth quickly raised and Mizrachi got out of the way.

Paul Volpe: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Phil Hellmuth: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

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

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.

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.

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.
