Stud Hi-Lo

Phil Hellmuth completed and Jason Daly called.

Jason Daly: XxXx/3♣8♠Q♠10♣/Xx
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/7♦A♠10♥8♣/Xx

Hellmuth bet on every street and Daly called each time.

"Deuces," Hellmuth said on seventh street after Daly called, prompting Daly to turn over 8♥7♣5♦ for a pair of eights.

"Eights, huh? Well Phil you did it," Hellmuth began to speak aloud "you tried to bluff the one maniac calling down every hand."

He continued to speak to himself while the rest of the table remained silent.

"I opened early and caught an ace on fourth street and he called with eights. Poker's just so easy, just collect the chips. The guy is trying to give it you every hand and you try to bluff him."

A couple of moments passed.

"It does suck to miss that one," admitted Hellmuth, earning a few nods from the table.

Stud Hi-Lo

Marshall Ragir: A♥3♣/A♦7♠4♥4♣/A♠ All in
David Prager: Q♥Xx/Q♦6♠5♥2♥/9♥

Marshall Ragir bet on fourth street, and David Prager called. Ragir continued betting on fifth and sixth street, the last bet of which put him all-in. Ragir called with the slighty covering stack.

Prager needed a queen to survive against the two pair of Ragir, but Ragir made a full house on seventh to secure his double-up, rendering Prager's last card useless.

David Prager: 10♠6♠/9♠A♣K♥J♣/8♣
William Flachsbart: A♦7♠/4♥3♠A♦5♣/6x

The next hand, Prager tossed his last chips in on third street with three to a flush, being looked up by William Flachsbart. Prager only had ace-high when all seven cards were dealt, however, and was eliminated by Flachsbart's striaght

Price then led out on the 2♣7♥Q♥ flop, receiving two calls. Price fired again on the J♣ turn, this time folding out Hansen. Jolly kept calling, however, and he remained doing so when Price flicked in a final bet on the A♥ river.

Price showed A♣J♥5♠3♥ for a flush and the second nut low, while Jolly only tabled Q♠Q♦ before he gave up on the pot.

Brian Rast checked from the big blind on the 6♥8♣A♣ flop, after which Shaun Deeb bet. Steve Chanthabouasy then raised, Rast called, and Deeb called.

Rast then led out on the 4♣ turn. Deeb called all-in for less, and Chantabouasy called as well. Rast and Chantabouasy then checked down the 4♦ river to a three-way showdown.

Rast played K♥K♣7♦6♣ for a flush, and Chanthabouasy played an eight-low with A♦Q♠6♦5♣. Deeb had a seven-low with A♠Q♣7♥5♠, however, and was awarded half of the pot to stay in contention.

Dylan Smith opened on the button and in the small blind, Ryan Hughes raised. Smith raised again when action folded back to him and Hughes raised him all in which Smith called.

Dylan Smith: A♠Q♥9♣3♦ All in
Ryan Hughes: A♦10♣8♣2♣

The board ran out 9♥6♦7♥5♥Q♣ and the ten-high straight and nut low was good for Hughes to take down the pot, which eliminated Smith from the tournament.

At another table, Anthony Ribeiro was eliminated from the tournament.
