Sachin Bhargava: A♠3♥/3♠6♠K♦9♣/6♣
Jordan Siegel: Q♥Q♣/6♦9♠8♦A♣/4♥
Larry Tull: XxXx/7♦K♠9♥ - folded on fifth street
Jordan Siegel completed, and Larry Tull and Sachin Bhargava both called. Bhargava moved in his final chips on fourth street, which both players called.
Siegel then bet out on fifth street, and Tull quickly folded his hand. Bhargava needed to best Siegel's queens by seventh street, and he did so by making two pair to double up and stay alive.
Donny Rubinstein: XxXx/8♠2♥4♠4♥/Xx
Qinghai Pan: XxXx/7♠10♣K♥6♦/Xx
Donny Rubinstein bet on fifth street and Qinghai Pan called.
Pan then bet on sixth, Rubinstein raised all in, and Pan called. Rubinstein showed A♣A♦ for two pair, but Pan turned over 6♠6♣ for trips. Rubinstein failed to improve with the 8♥ on seventh as he was sent to the rail three spots off the money.
Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx/5♠3♥9♠5♣/Xx
James Cheung: XxXx/A♥K♥ - folded on fourth street
Phil Hellmuth: 10♠6♠2♠/7♠8♠3♦6♥
Tomasz Gluszko brought in, James Cheung completed, and Phil Hellmuth called. Gluszko also matched the bet, after which it checked to him on fourth street.
Gluszko bet, Cheung folded, and Hellmuth called. Gluszko slowed down on fifth street, checking it over to Hellmuth. Hellmuth bet, Gluszko called, and the same sequence happened twice more.
Hellmuth tabled a flush and an eight-low, and Gluszko's cards disappeared into the muck.
"The flush surprised me a little," Gluszko told Hellmuth.
"Lucky river," Hellmuth admitted.
While this hand took place, Hellmuth's fellow Hall of Famer Phil Ivey was eliminated at another table.
James Cheung: XxXx/6♦2♦8♠Q♦/Xx
Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx/7♥A♦6♥J♠/Xx
Viktor Blom: XxXx/6♣A♣Q♥10♣/Xx
Tomasz Gluszko completed and James Cheung raised. Viktor Blom then reraised and Gluszko called, while Cheung called all in.
Blom bet on fourth street and Gluszko called to create a side pot. Gluszko then bet on fifth and sixth as Blom called down to seventh.
Gluszko bet again on seventh and Blom called. Gluszko turned over 6♠4♣3♣ for a pair of sixes and 7-6-4-3-A and Blom mucked.
Cheung had 7♠3♥ showing as he went to peel his last card. "Seven, eight, or queen," a tablemate told him, and Cheung eventually turned over the 8♦ to make a pair of eights and chop the pot.
Craig Chait: QxXxXx/K♥8♥Q♣Q♥
Laura Born: XxXx/8♣2♣10♣7♠/Xx
Craig Chait completed, and Laura Born called. Chait bet every street until he went all in for 3,000 on seventh street. Born called down, but her cards were quickly mucked when Chait revealed trip queens to scoop the pot.
Larry Tull: XxXx/10♠10♣6♣9♠/Xx
Tim Frazin: XxXx/A♥10♥K♥5♦ - folded on sixth street
Heads-up on fifth street, Larry Tull bet and Tim Frazin raised. Tull called to sixth.
Frazin then bet, and this time it was Tull who put in a raise. Frazin spent a minute studying the board before folding as Tull took the pot.
