Wigg Turns a Set

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

A completed board of {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} was spread across the felt and Anton Wigg had a bet of 48,000 sitting in front of him. The pot had around the same amount in the middle and Daniel Sewnig had a decision to make.

A little over a minute passed and Sewnig finally threw in a call. Wigg turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights and that was good enough to earn him the pot.

Armstrong Up Early

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

Benjamin Armstrong was heads-up from the hijack on a board of {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} against one player from middle position. Armstrong had a 60,000 bet in front of him and his opponent called after some thought.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and both players checked.

Armstrong immediately tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and his opponent mucked, which got a "Phew!" out of Armstrong as he dragged the pot.

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.

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.

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.
