Where is the Rest of the Pot?

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the turn with the board reading 9549 and around 13,000 in the middle, Erik Baum led for 5,600 from the big blind and was called by Walter Waidelich in middle position.

The river brought the 10 as Baum announced, "Same bet." Although not a legal bet, it was understood to be another wager of 5,600, and Waidelich quickly called.

Erik Baum: 109
Walter Waidelich: 55

Waidelich had turned a full house, but Baum rivered a higher full house, and Waidelich appeared to lose the minimum in a cooler scenario.

Heads-up on a flop of 7Q2 Carlos Gil was in the big blind and check-called a bet of 3,000 from Nicholas Hellmuth, who was in middle position.

Gil check-called a bet of 6,000 from Hellmuth on the 6 turn, but check-folded facing a 10,000 bet from Hellmuth after the Q completed the board.

"Why is he so much nicer than his dad?" Freddy Deeb said of Hellmuth from across the table.

"It's not a high bar," Hellmuth responded, which got a laugh from his tablemates. "I needle him whenever I can..."

The pre-turn action was recalled after the hand as Reza Fahim had limped from late position and Michael Mizrachi raised from the hijack. Fahim called, and the players went heads up to the 1043 flop. Both checked to see the 2 turn and action was back on Fahim.

Action was followed live from when Fahim bet 5,000 on the turn, and Mizrachi called. The Q river was placed which prompted Fahim to bet 10,000. Mizrachi paused, before flicking in a chip to call and Fahim turned over his K10 for a pair of tens which was enough to see Mizrachi muck.
