Schreiber Goes All In, Gets a Fold

Level 11

Action folded to Matthew Schreiber in the cutoff who opened and was met by a single caller in the form of Day 1 chipleader Brian Hastings out of the big blind.

Both players took two cards on the first draw. Hastings then check-called the continuation from Schreiber .

On the second draw, Hastings again drew two while Schreiber only took one. Hastings checked for a second time and made the call after Schreiber fired off another bet.

The final draw saw Hastings stand pat and then check to Schreiber who drew one last card before moving all in for 8,000. Hastings appeared reluctant to let his hand go to the single big bet but ultimately seemed to decide there was no way he could be good and released his holding.

Rast Gets a Fold

Level 11

Daniel Zack opened from middle position and was three-bet by Brian Rast on the button. Action folded back around to Zack who flatted to send the two players heads-up to the initial draw.

On the first draw, Zack took two cards to Rast's one before check-calling a bet from the three-bettor.

Zack took just one card during the second draw while Rast stood pat. Zack checked for a second time and Rast fired off another bet, which was not enough to shed Zack, who again made the call.

The final draw saw the same drawing pattern repeated before Zack check-folded to a third barrel from Rast.

Level 11
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

After the first draw, Phil Hellmuth check-called a bet from Christopher Stephan, practically beating his opponent into the pot in the process.

Hellmuth drew two and Stephan stood pat. Hellmuth check-called another bet and drew one.

Stephan stood pat again and both players checked.

"I'm even money at an eight," said Hellmuth, sweating his final card. "I paired."

Stephan turned over {9-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{3-} and took down the pot as Hellmuth muttered an expletive.

"I threw an eight away!" he said. "It's alright, I came here to win."
