Geilich Caught Bluffing

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player opened to 1,800 from under the gun and was called by the small blind as well as Ludovic Geilich out of the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and all three players checked to see the {10-Hearts} turn. At this point the small blind checked for a second time and Geilich, known for his aggressive approach, bet out 2,300. That bet was enough to convince the under the gun player to fold but the small blind, unconvinced, called.

The small blind checked once again after the {a-Clubs} river, prompting Geilich to size up to 10,200. It did not take long for his opponent to make the call and Geilich quickly mucked.

Sixes Are Good for Xu

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Anthony Xu started the action in the cutoff with a raise to 1,800 and picked up calls from Justin Fawcett on the button and Jeffrey Chang in the big blind.

The flop revealed {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} and after a check from Chang, Xu continued for 2,200, only called by Fawcett. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Xu sent 6,200 in the middle and Fawcett didn't take long to call.

The {j-Clubs} completed the board on the river and went check-check. Xu tabled {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for two pair and Fawcett sent his cards into the muck.

Smith Leaves Hellmuth Fuming and on Fumes

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth and Shawn Smith went heads-up blind on blind to a {4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop when Hellmuth called a bet.

Both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn before Hellmuth, changed from his Darth Vader custume into a black and yellow jersey, put out a 25,000 green chip and announced 12,000 on the {3-Clubs} river.

Shawn came back with a raise to 30,000 and sent the 16-time bracelet winner into the tank for several minutes.

"Three threes," Hellmuth asked.

"No, not that," Smith replied.

"Three queens," Hellmuth continued as he pondered the decision for most of his stack.

He eventually flicked in a call as Smith showed {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the runner-runner wheel. Hellmuth turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} before throwing them into the muck, burying his head in his hands as he's been knocked down to a severe short stack an hour into his Main Event.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio

Jimmy D'Ambrosio opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and small blind, Lukas Hafner, reraised to 9,500. D'Ambrosio called and the dealer fanned the flop {9-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Hafner bet 10,000 and D'Ambrosio snap called.

The {6-Diamonds} slowed things down and they both checked.

A {6-Clubs} showed up on the river and Hafner bet 12,000. D'Ambrosio responded by raising to 30,000 and it sent Hafner in to the tank before finally deciding to fold.

Frerichs Takes the Rest From Hellmuth

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

A few minutes after losing that big pot to Shawn Smith, Phil Hellmuth stuck the rest of his 6,000 in the middle and was up against Jeff Frerichs.

Phil Hellmuth: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Jeff Frerichs: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

"If I lose this I can say I won zero pots this Main Event," Hellmuth said heading to the {7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop.

Hellmuth made a pair of kings and improved to two pair on the {j-Clubs} turn, but the {6-Hearts} on the river gave Frerichs a set and sent the "Poker Brat" to the rail.
