Break Time

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The 14 remaining players have been sent on a 15-minute break.

Nick Guagenti Eliminated in 15th Place ($33,928)

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Nicholas Guagenti
Nicholas Guagenti

After losing the previous hand, Phil Hellmuth said, "I'm tilted," before raising to 300,000 from the button. Nick Guagenti jammed for around 1,000,000 from the big blind, and Hellmuth beat him into the pot with a call.

Nick Guagenti: A7 All in
Phil Hellmuth: AJ

Guagenti was dominated by Hellmuth, but he picked up some chop outs on the A88 flop.

The 9 turn was no help to Guagenti, and neither was the 6 river. The two players fist-bumped before Guagenti's chips were pushed across to Hellmuth, ending his run in 15th place.

Norvock Doubles Dire Stack

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Josh Norvock jammed in his stack of 610,000 under the gun. Nicholas Palma called on the button, and the pair showed down.

Josh Norvock: 108 All in
Nicholas Palma: A7

Norvock leapfrogged Palma on the 8QJ flop. Palma gained some outs on the 7 turn, but the 8 river made Norvock trips to double up.

Rabinowitz Ticks a Hellmuth Rant Off His Bucket List

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth

Darren Rabinowitz raised to 240,000 from middle position, and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind.

Hellmuth checked the 6J6 flop, and Rabinowitz fired a continuation-bet of 175,000. Hellmuth instantly check-raised to 350,000, which Rabinowitz called.

Hellmuth checked before seeing the 4 turn, and Rabinowitz checked behind. The A completed the board, and after two more checks, Hellmuth tabled 99 for a pair of nines. Rabinowitz revealed the winner with A10 for a rivered pair of aces.

Hellmuth immediately sprang to his feet and launched into a profanity-laced tirade.

Rabinowitz wasn't smiling at winning the pot, but instead he was over the moon at being sworn at by Hellmuth

"Yes, yes, it's happened to me!" he exclaimed, thrilled to have finally been on the receiving end of one of Hellmuth's trademark outbursts.

Hellmuth continued to voice his opinion of Rabinowitz as the next hand was dealt.

David Peters Eliminated in 16th Place ($27,537)

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

From middle position, David Peters raised to 1,145,000, leaving a single T-5,000 chip behind. One seat to his left in the hijack, Darren Rabinowitz moved all in, which received quick folds from those still to act behind him. Peters gave it a moment to see if anybody was at risk at the other table, but then flicked in his final chip.

David Peters: 55 All in
Darren Rabinowitz: AK

The KQ10 flop left Peters in a dire situation, and when he was unable to regain the lead across the 10 turn or 7 river, he was eliminated in 16th place.

Bosch Spikes a King to Double

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Oliver Bosch
Oliver Bosch

Oliver Bosch raised to 250,000 from early position, and Josh Norvock jammed for just over two million from the hijack. When the action got back to him, Bosch called for his remaining 1,230,000, putting himself at risk.

Oliver Bosch: KJ All in
Josh Norvock: 99

Bosch took the lead in the coin flip by pairing his king on the K53 flop.

Norvock couldn't find a nine on either the 2 turn or the 8 river, and he had to send over more than half of his stack to Bosch.

"Daddy's Back"

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Nick Guagenti
Nick Guagenti

Phil Hellmuth raised to 300,000 on the button, and Nick Guagenti called in the big blind.

Before the flop had been dealt, Hellmuth bet out of turn, enough to put Guagenti all in for his remaining 290,000.

"It's on me, Phil", Guagenti told Hellmuth.

The dealer spread a 4105 flop, and Guagenti put his remaining chips into the middle.

Nick Guagenti: 66 All in
Phil Hellmuth: A10

Guagenti was up from his seat, looking to hit one of his two immediate outs, and he did just that on the 6 turn card.

"Daddy's back", he said as he sat back down and counted his stack, letting Hellmuth know how much he was due.

The dealer completed the board with the A, and Hellmuth sent Guagenti his newly earned chips.

Stewart Gets Value With Treys

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a limped pot to the 32Q flop, both Giorgiy Skhulukhiya and Joshua Stewart checked. Small blind Skhulukhiya checked again on the 6 turn, prompting Stewart to toss in a bet of 165,000.

Skhulukhiya called after some thought, and the 7 river was subsequently checked to showdown. Skhulukhiya tabled KJ for king-high, meaning Stewart's 93 was good enough to rake in the pot.
