DeWitt Drops Hellmuth Under 100,000

Mike Patrick

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Derek DeWitt: A♠J♠/4♠J♥K♦2♦/4♣
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/J♦Q♥A♣8♣/Xx

Action had been completed on seventh street, and Derek DeWitt had just announced "jacks up" as he showed his hole cards that indeed gave him two pair, jacks and fours.

His opponent, Phil Hellmuth lept out of his seat in shock that DeWitt had apparently beaten him on seventh street. DeWitt told Hellmuth that he had started with three spades, made jacks on fourth street, and then a second and winning pair on seventh street.

The loss drops Hellmuth to one of the shorter stacks in the field.

Meanwhile at an adjacent table, Daniel Idema was recently eliminated.

Seiver Has a Warning For His New Table

David Salituro

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Scott Seiver was just moved to a new table along Chino Rheem, Paul Volpe, and Carol Fuchs when he raised the first hand from the hijack.

Binh Ly and Rheem called in the blinds as they went to the flop of A♣7♥Q♠. "That seems like a good flop for someone who tried to limp the big blind," Seiver said as he bet again.

Both opponents called to the Q♣ turn, where Seiver bet again. Ly quickly folded, and Rheem tossed KxJx into the muck.

"Felt like a good turn for me," Seiver said as he turned over Q♥Q♦ for quads.

"Comes over and says party over, then makes quads the first hand," Volpe added.

"Who does that," Fuchs said.

"Scott Seiver does that," Volpe replied.
