As relayed by the players, Graham Mathews raised from under the gun to 800, Scott Sundheim called from the small blind, and Dwayne Vetter called from the big blind. The flop came out with 9♥6♥2♦, and both of the blinds checked to Mathews, who bet out 1,100, and Sundheim moved all in for 32,000. Vetter got out of the way, and Mathews immediately called with his set of nines.
Scott Sundheim: J♥10♥
Graham Mathews: 9♦9♣
The players could not remember the last two cards but stated that Sundheim was on the flush draw, which did not complete, and Mathews won a nice pot with his set.
Nikolaos Lampropoulos raised to 1,000 from early position and was called by Klint Tevaearai in the big blind. The dealer fanned a 5♥10♠7♣ flop. Tevaearai checked, Lampropoulos bet 1,400, and Tevaearai called.
The turn was the Q♦. Tevaearai checked again; this time, Lampropoulos bet 2,700 and was called.
Action checked through on the A♦ river card. Lampropoulos tabled J♣10♥, which was good enough to win this pot.
Action folded to Benjamin Williams in the small blind, who raised to 1,200. William Mical called from the big blind. The dealer revealed a Q♥8♦6♣ flop. Williams bet 1,000, and Mical called. Action checked through on an 8♥ turn card.
The river brought the 3♥, Williams bet 4,000 before Mical raised to 12,000. After some deliberation, Williams made the call. Mical tabled A♥2♦, which could not beat Williams' Q♣J♣ good for top pair and the winning hand.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400

Players in Event #29 are on a 20-minute break.
Son of Poker Hall of Famer Phil Hellmuth Jr., Phil Hellmuth III was involved in a blind vs. blind battle. Maxwell Young limped from the small blind, and Hellmuth checked his option.
Young checked to Hellmuth on a 5♣3♦8♥ flop, Hellmuth wagered 800 and was called by young.
The turn brought the J♣. Young checked again, this time Hellmuth bet 1,500, which was good enough to get a fold from Young. Hellmuth has doubled his starting stack and hopes to follow in his father's footsteps and win a gold bracelet this summer.
