Ludovic Poullet raised from middle position to 3,000 and found a call from Tabatha Hilliard in the small blind. Daniel Negreanu in the big blind then three-bet to 10,000. Poullet called, and Hilliard folded.
The flop came A♣10♦7♠ and both players checked to see the K♦ peel off on the turn. Negreanu led out for 10,000, and Poullet snap-folded.
Negreanu showed KxKx for a turned set and scooped some much-needed chips.

Watching a couple of hands on Table 473 before it broke, Phil Hellmuth gave an expert lesson in some of his infamous 'white magic' that he so often speaks of...
First off, Hellmuth limped in from the cutoff which allowed the button and the blinds to come along cheaply. The dealer fanned a flop and the action checked to Hellmuth who splashed in a bet of 4,000 which got all of his opponents to fold.
"I had it again," Hellmuth announced after the hand.
On the next hand, Nicholas Roberts limped in from middle position and Hellmuth limped along. Craig Sloan raised to 7,000 in the small blind and only Hellmuth called.
The flop fell Q♣J♦5♥ and both players quickly checked to the 5♠ on the turn. Sloan checked again and Hellmuth made a small bet of 4,000. Sloan called and the 7♥ completed the board with both players checking. Sloan tabled A♥K♣ for just ace-high while Hellmuth turned over 8♥8♣ to claim the pot.
Following that, Jose Lesta opened to 3,500 in early position and Hellmuth made a huge three-bet to 20,000. It folded back to Lesta who gave it some thought before folding and flashing the 10♣. Hellmuth felt the need to show his K♣K♦ as he raked in another pot.
"I bluffed you last time I made it 20,000 so of course I have to have the nuts this time," Hellmuth yapped. "You think I'm sticking in 20,000 without kings?" he rhetorically asked, obviously having done so as a bluff previously.

Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 3,000 and got calls from all around the table. Amit Zulkowitz in early position, Troy Wallace in middle position, Gilad Rubinsky in late position, and Tabatha Hilliard in the big blind.
The flop came J♦K♦Q♦ and Negreanu checked. Zulkowitz bet 5,000, and Wallace called, as did Negreanu. The turn came the 9♦ and it was checked to Wallace who bet out for 5,000, and both Negreanu and Zulkowitz called.
All players checked the 5♠ that came on the river, and Negreanu tabled A♦A♣ for the second nuts. Zulkowitz had QxKx for two pair but was way behind in third as Wallace flipped over 8♦6♦ for the flopped flush.
Negreanu was quick to get the camera out to let his followers know the action and that he couldn't even bet the second nuts but still happy with scooping up some chips to as he said to his followers, “Get back in the game.”

: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
James Jeffrey called in the cutoff and on the button, Leland Postil moved all in for 33,000 and only Mattia Festa called in the small blind.
James Jeffrey: 6♥6♣ 
Mattia Festa: A♦Q♠
The board ran out 10♦4♣7♥9♠Q♦ and the queen on the river gave Festa a pair of queens to eliminate Fest from the tournament.
At another table, Scott Stewart was eliminated from the tournament.
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
The board read J♥5♣4♦A♥10♥ with a pot containing more than 30,000 when Calvin Anderson sent a bet of 26,000.
Maxim Lykov went deep into the tank and eventually tossed a chip for the call. Anderson tabled A♦K♥ for a pair of aces and Lykov mucked his cards.
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a multi-way pre-flop pot, the pot was at about 16,000 when the flop came 2♥J♠5♣ and it was checked around to Joseph Gallagher in the big blind, who bet out for 4,500. All other players folded apart from Long Nguyen in the small blind who made the call.
The turn brought the 3♣, and again Nguyen check-called Gallagher's 6,500 bet. Both players checked the K♦ on the turn, and Nguyen tabled Q♥J♥ for second pair and was shipped the pot.
