Hellmuth Chipping Up Quickly

Level 8
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Badeucey

Phil Hellmuth has quickly added to his stack since hopping into the tournament after the last break, and a recent hand has moved him over 100,000 for the first time.

Picking action up on the final draw, Hellmuth was first to act. He patted his hand and bet dark before Anatoliy Zyrin had decided on his action.

Zyrin drew one and then called. Hellmuth spread {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a nine-six and a six-dugi. Zyrin tossed his cards to the muck, conceding the pot to the 16-time bracelet winner.

Gorodinsky Loses to Reitz; Gets the Chips Back

Level 8

Badeucey

"It looked like a straight to my dead eyes," Mike Gorodinsky said after he paid off a final bet by Fabian Reitz and was shown the {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} by Reitz to lose a small chunk of his large tower of chips.

Gorodinsky then raised the next hand and called a three-bet by Reitz. Both discarded two cards each and checked. They discarded two each again and Reitz bet, Gorodinsky called. Reitz patted and Gorodinsky took one card as they checked it down thereafter.

Reitz revealed a {10-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} but Gorodinsky had that beat with the {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

Siegel Takes Two in a Row

Level 8

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Ian O'Hara paid off a bet worth 16,200 after the draw and mucked when Jordan Siegel tabled the {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

One hand later, Scott Bohlman raised on the button and Siegel called in the big blind. Siegel discarded two and Bohlman required one new card. Siegel then bet 6,000 and Bohlman folded.

Once Upon a Split Pot

Level 8

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Joey Couden: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} / {x-}
Matthew Ashton: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}

The one game in the rotation to most likely end in split pots is certainly Stud Hi-Lo Regular and he first chop saw Joey Couden and Matthew Ashton check down seventh street. Couden tabled the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} for a low, pair and missed flush draw to secure half the pot. Ashton locked up the high portion with {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} for tens and fours.

Todd Barlow: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} / {x-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {x-}

Todd Barlow then bet fourth to sixth street against Phil Hellmuth, who called on all of the streets before he said "is it too greedy to ask for a straight?" ahead of seventh. That got Barlow thinking and he eventually checked it back. Hellmuth turned over the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a pair, nine-low and missed gutshot. Barlow secured the high portion holding the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for tens and fours.

Friedman Put in the Tank

Level 8
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Baduecey

Picking action up on the first draw with three bets in each, Scott Clements drew one in the small blind and Adam Friedman drew two on the button.

Clements bet and Friedman called, then each player drew one.

Again Clements bet and Friedman called.

On the final draw, Clements stood pat and Friedman drew one. Clements bet once more and the three-time defending champion went deep into the tank.

"This sucks", said Friedman at one point before picking up his chips and placing them in front of Clements then mucking his hand.

Friedman hasn't been able to pick up any consistent momentum today as his stack hasn't ventured too high or low from its 60,000 chip starting point.

Hellmuth In, Two Others Out

Level 8

Mizrachi Scoops Madsen

Level 8

Stud Hi-Lo

Jeff Madsen: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} / {x-}
Robert Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}

Jeff Madsen completed and Robert Mizrachi raised for Madsen to call. Both checked fourth street before Madsen bet all further street. Mizrachi called it down to get shown the {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} by Madsen, which he had beat with the {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} for queens and sixes.

After the hand was over, Mizrachi confirmed he had not seen the completion and that got him into some trouble. While the hand unfolded, Bryce Yockey was on the same table with a severe short stack. He had previously contemplated to just get it in for a potential triple up but folded. Those last few chips then vanished shortly after on a day to forget for Yockey.

Brunner Jams Up Stack Without Showdown

Level 8

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

On the final draw, Keith Lehr and Jesse McGinty both took one new card while Brian Brunner patted. McGinty pushed for around 31,000 in the small blind and Lehr quickly folded. McGinty took longer but came to the same conclusion, as the pot worth 51,000 was sent to Brunner.

Lehr admitted in table chat that he broke a nine while McGinty and Brunner started some discussion as well in which Brunner mentioned "I had a good hand but not great."
