Hellmuth Runs Into the Goods

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth limped the small blind and Alex Torry checked his option.

Before the dealer spread the Q♣5♠4♣ flop, Hellmuth announced a check-dark. Torry fired out a bet and Hellmuth said, 'let's go' and pushed his stack across the line. Torry wasted no time calling and both hands were tabled.

Phil Hellmuth: 8♦5♣ All in
Alex Torry: Q♥4♥

Hellmuth stood up in disgust as he saw the two pair of Torry. The K♠ turn and the J♥ river were no help as he said good game to the table and headed to the payout desk.

With over 250,000 in the middle the completed board of Q♠10♣10♦5♠7♠ was already on the felt. Jorge Ufano was in the tank after being faced with a bet from Frank Yakubson.

Level 19 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Yi Klassen raised preflop and was called by Florian Pesce to see a flop of K♣4♦J♠. Pesce checked, Klassen bet, and Pesce called to go to the turn 2♣.

Pesce then check-called again after a bet from Klassen and the two went to the river 3♦, where Pesce checked once more.

"Alright, let's see it," Klassen announced as she checked back. Pesce then showed 4♣5♠ for a pair of fours but it was no good once Klassen tabled J♣10♣ for a pair of jacks to take the pot.

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Robert Wells opened the cutoff and Daniel Vampan three-bet from the small blind. Michael Reed was all-in for his last 35,000 and Wells called.

The flop came A♥J♦6♠ and Vampan continued with a bet. Wells instantly folded, and both hands were revealed.

Michael Reed: K♦7♥ All in
Daniel Vampan: A♠9♠

"At least make it a sweat," Pleaded Reed. But unfortunately the 2♣ turn meant he was drawing dead, and the Q♥ river was just a formality. Reed headed to the payout desk in 17th place.

John Prather was eliminated just moments before at another table, taking home 18th place.

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

The action folded around to Florian Pesce in the small blind and he put in a raise before Benjamin Underwood made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♣9♣9♠ and Pesce continued with a bet. Underwood raised and Pesce pushed his remaining 45,000 across the line as both players rolled their hands.

Florian Pesce: A♣2♠ All in
Benjamin Underwood: 9♥8♥

Pesce saw the danger he was in as he stood up and put on his backpack. The A♥ gave him some life as he could hit an ace to double but the 7♣ river was no help, sending him to the payout desk in 16th place.
