Kirk Brown
Level 12 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Brian Rast moved all in preflop and was called by Daniel Vampan and one other player to put him at risk.

On the flop 5♠4♣2♠, Vampan bet and his opponent called to see the 10♠ peel on the turn.

Vampan bet again and his opponent folded, awarding him the side pot while the cards were tabled.

Brian Rast: A♥6♦
Daniel Vampan: A♣3♦

Rast needed a three to stay alive against Vampan's flopped straight, but the river was the J♣ to send him to the rail.

Hellmuth Dodging Bullets

Level 12 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

The action on this hand was told to PokerNews after the fact:

Phil Hellmuth raised preflop, Warwick Mirzikinian three-bet, and Hellmuth called to see the flop AxKx6x.

Both players checked and they went to the turn 2x, which saw a bet from Hellmuth and a call from Mirzikinian.

The river fell another 2x, pairing the board and Hellmuth bet, Mirzikinian raised, and Hellmuth just called.

Mirzikinian then flipped over AxAx for the top full house and couldn't believe his eyes when Hellmuth rolled over KxKx for the second-best boat.

The table was astonished at how many chips Hellmuth saved during the hand, who then danced a little jig to honor his display of poker prowess.

River Spike for Kyte

Level 12 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

On a heads-up turn of 9♥7♥4♣8♣, a player bet, Jon Kyte raised, and his opponent thought for a few seconds before he called.

The river fell the J♣ and it was checked to Kyte, who tossed out a final bet, which sent his opponent into the tank.

After over thirty seconds of head-shaking, he made the call and tabled 9♦9♠ for a flopped set, but it was no match for the A♣10♥ of Kyte for the rivered straight to scoop the pot.

"Iiyiyiyiyiy," his opponent sighed as he was left on life support.

"That's the third time I've seen you take down a goofy pot," tablemate Phil Hellmuth chuckled as Kyte dragged in the pot.
