Sam Trickett Doubles Through Mike Shariati
Level 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
On a board reading 
, with about 10,000 in the pot already, Mike Shariati piled a fistful of chips into the middle from the small blind. Sam Trickett was in the big blind, and Shariati was putting him to the test for his remaining 6,000 chips. Trickett smiled and called.
Shariati showed first, tabling 
for a turned set of sevens. Trickett showed 
for a flush and was the player at risk. He had to dodge a paired board on the river and was able to do so, as the dealer peeled the 
on the river.
Trickett doubled through to 22,700, but Shariati barely flinched, as he is sitting on 40,000.

Phil Hellmuth: "Three Years Ago, I Would've Been Criticized"
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Phil Hellmuth entered this event fashionably late, as he has been known to do, and immediately got dealt a nice round of cards. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to make anything happen.
Hand 1: Hellmuth raised to 1,100 from middle position, and the player in the big blind defended. The flop came 
, and the big blind check-folded to a bet of 1,200 from Hellmuth. He laughed and tabled . Judging by the tone of the conversation, he had already raised a few times and may have shown his cards in case his opponents didn't give him respect for a big hand.
Hand 2: Hellmuth limped in from early position, as did a player in middle position, the player on the button, and both of the blinds. The flop came 
, and action checked to Hellmuth. He bet 1,600, and the middle-position player as well as the button folded. The small blind called, and the big blind folded. The turn was the , and the small blind immediately led out for 4,000. Hellmuth took off his glasses, laughed, and said, "This is my best hand in this round. I had ace-king and tens." He open-folded , conceding the pot.
Hand 3: Hellmuth raised to 1,100 from under the gun, and a player in middle position three-bet to 2,600. Action folded back around to Hellmuth, and he took his glasses off again. "I wish you would've just shoved. I would've snap-called you," he said, laughing. "These internet kids. Three years ago, I would've been criticized for making this fold." He open-folded ace-queen off-suit.
Chance Kornuth was moved to the table, and Hellmuth laughed and said to him, "You would've criticized me for sure!"
