Katz Doubles; Hellmuth Out

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Katz raised from the small blind and Nick Guagenti three-bet to put Katz all in for 22,000 total. Katz called and a showdown was held.

Cary Katz: 8♣6♦4♥2♣ All in
Nick Guagenti: A♦A♠5♥6♠

“You’re in trouble,” Katz joked as he saw Guagenti’s hand.

It turned out Katz was right, as the 9♥J♠5♠6♥8♥ runout left Katz best with two pair and a low for the scoop to double up.

At another table, Phil Hellmuth was eliminated.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Zable limped in from the button, James Obst limped behind from the small blind, Phillip Hui raised to 20,000 from the big blind, Zable called and Obst folded.

The flop came 10♦8♣7♣ and the rest of the chips quickly got in the middle with Hui starting the hand with around 150,000 and Zable covering him.

Phillip Hui: A♥A♠4♠3♦ All in
John Zable: Q♥J♥10♥8♦

Zable had made two pair to crack Hui's aces but Hui made a low on the 2♦9♣ runout to take half the pot and keep himself in contention.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey was already all in and at risk for 86,000 from the hijack against Michael Duek in the small blind on a flop of J♣7♥9♥.

Phil Ivey: 6♥6♣3♣2♥ All in
Michael Duek: A♦K♠Q♦3♥

The A♥ turn improved Ivey to a flush and an irrelevant K♥ completed the board to make Ivey’s double up official.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of J♠9♠9♦5♠ and 58,000 in the middle, Joshua Thibodaux checked from the small blind and Michael Duek bet 30,000 from the big blind. Thibodaux made the call.

On the 8♥ river Thibodaux checked and Duek fired a pot-sized bet of 118,000. Thibodaux contemplated his options for about 90 seconds before opting to call.

"You're good" Duek told his opponent. Thibodaux tabled A♠6♠2♠8♣ for an ace-high flush to take down a sizable pot.
