Theologis Makes a Flush to Double Up

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

There was a raise from middle position and Alexandros Theologis shoved all in for 30,000 in the cutoff. There was some commotion at the table with a couple of cards being marked and the dealer flashed one of them, the {10-Diamonds}. Once the action folded back to the initial raiser, he quickly called to put Theologis at risk.

Alexandros Theologis: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} to give Theologis a flush and score a double up through his opponent.

Simonian Bets Cornell Off

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Tyler Cornell raised to 5,500 in middle position and was called by John Simonian on his left and the big blind. The flop fell {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Cornell continued for 6,000 which only Simonian called.

The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and Cornell checked to Simonian who bet 9,400. Cornell called and the {8-Clubs} landed on the river. Cornell checked again and Simonian pushed out a bet of 21,600. Cornell asked for a count but decided to dump his cards to the muck.

Mcneil Doubles Through Noda

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Hiroyuki Noda raised to 6,100 on the button and Matthew Mcneil shoved for his last 32,400 from the small blind. Action folded back to Noda, who tanked for some time before deciding to call.

Matthew Mcneil: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Hiroyuki Noda: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Noda made the right call, but the {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} runout left Mcneil with a full house and he doubled through Noda — leaving Noda with just 33,000 in chips.

Puchol-Vina Left Short

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

There was a loud celebration in the room and tournament director Bob Smith walked past the table and exclaimed "the tournament is over". When the live reporting team arrived at table 474, Oliver Renick's stack was counted as he doubled for 75,400 through Alvaro Puchol-Vina. His {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} had turned a straight on the {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board and that left Puchol-Vina short.

Hellmuth Busts in Bad Beat

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

According to players at the table, Jacob Thibodeau opened and Phil Hellmuth jammed in his remaining stack of about 25,000. Thibodeau called and hands were revealed.

Phil Hellmuth: {j-}{j-}
Jacob Thibodeau: {8-}{8-}

Hellmuth's fishhooks were well ahead of the eights, and were further ahead on the {k-}{k-}{9-} flop. However, the {8-} two-outer spiked the turn to put him behind, and a blank came on the river to bust him in unfortunate circumstances early in the day.

The table said he was gracious and said "Good game," before making his exit, but there will be no "white magic" in the form of Hellmuth at this year's Main Event final table, as the 1989 World Series of Poker Main Event champion and bracelet record-holder is no longer in contention.
