Devilfish Nicked My Chips

roll up, roll up
roll up, roll up
Ahmet Melin, who has 77,500, just dropped a chip on the floor.

"It's over there," announced someone pointing underneath the Devilfish's chair.

"Oh, Devilfish nicked my chips," accuses Ahmet jokingly.

As Ahmet stumbles beneath the Fish, the former WPT victor adds, "While you're down there, son."

Good lord, the "You'll do" is for real.

Eek! If you need me, I'll be hiding under the staircase.

A Whole Lot of Catching

As Ramzi Jelassi re-raises Hellmuth's 3k pre-flop raise to 7.5k, Hellmuth smirks under his paws and folds with a grimace of frustration.

"I'll catch you, kid. I always catch you, I always catch someone," he warns. "So long as when I catch you, you don't outdraw me."

I don't think Ramzi was paying much attention.

He's Baaaaaaaaack

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Hellmuth Raises to 3,000 and is called by Mark McCluskey in the small blind:

{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

McCluskey checks, Hellmuth bets, McCluskey puts Phil all in, Phil calls:

Hellmuth {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
McCluskey {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Turn: {5-Hearts}

Hellmuth gets his coat

River: {10-Diamonds}

Hellmuth now looks like the cat that got the cream, he has managed to get back up to over 40,000.

McCluskey may have to wait another ten years to get him back.

Erick Lindgren has just joined his table.

Cooking on Gas

Englishman Terry Cook is starting to gather speed after failing to make an impact today. He's climbed back up to 65,200 after raising Joe Serock off a {2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop.

There was a bit of confusion yesterday with some people mixing Joe Serock with Joe Sebok or assuming it was a typo. We can confirm, however, that they are entirely different people. Both great players, one just a little tighter than the other, as the name suggests.

Meanwhile, Annette_15 has joined the table and appears to have in excess of 100k.

Wasicka Doubles Through Annette_15

Classic race. A coin-flip situation for Paul Wasicka against Annette_15. He was shortstacked and shoved with A-J. She held pocket fives. The flop was Q-10-9 and Wasicka picked up more outs with an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the 10 and the river was the 8, which gave Wasicka the straight. He doubled up to avoid elimination.

Krzysztof Gluszko, one of the trickier names in poker
Krzysztof Gluszko, one of the trickier names in poker
Quiet player Krzysztof Gluszko just won a hand against Philip Hilm, with maximum dwelling and probably maximum effect. Hilm (under the gun) bet out when they saw a threeway flop of {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Spades} (Joe Le, the third player, who declined to play past this point). Gluszko called the 5,400.

The turn: {7-Diamonds} Hilm slowly and deliberately bet out 14k. Even more slowly and deliberately, Gluszko called it.

The river: {6-Spades} Check from Hilm, and a bit of a superdwell followed, Gluszko eventually throwing in two 5k chips. Hilm called pretty fast, but mucked faster when Gluszko showed him the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

Lindgren Felts Jelassi

Ramzi Jelassi
Ramzi Jelassi
Ramzi Jelassi is down to the felt after running into Aces. Erick Lindgren limped from the button, Hellmuth called in the small blind and Ramzi pushed from the big. Erick called and Hellmuth folded.

Ramzi = {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Erick = {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

"Jacks please," requests Ramzi desperately.

"Hey, this isn't fair, those are my chips," adds Hellmuth.

Board = {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Ramzi taps the table.
