It's Hold'em But They're Splitting Anyway
Phil Hellmuth raised, and Erik Albinsson reraised. Everyone else got out of their way, and Hellmuth called.
Hellmuth checked even before the

Daniel Negreanu is down to just 18,000 after he folded to a Lederer bet on a

![{Q-Spades}](/img/cards/qs.gif)
![{J-Clubs}](/img/cards/jc.gif)
![{Q-Clubs}](/img/cards/qc.gif)
By his expression, it seemed as if the board got worse and worse for his hand. He's really under pressure now.
Lisandro Forces a Fold
Hellmuth and Jeff Lisandro see a

Hellmuth Again
I catch the very end of the hand, as a very pleased-looking Sherkhan Farnood is raking in the chips while simultaneously enjoying a massage, his hand face up in front of him reading
![{A-Diamonds}](/img/cards/da.gif)
![{2-Clubs}](/img/cards/2c.gif)

![{J-Hearts}](/img/cards/jh.gif)
![{A-Clubs}](/img/cards/ac.gif)
![{5-Clubs}](/img/cards/5c.gif)
Now thoroughly furious, Hellmuth is demanding that TD Steve Frezer order the dealers to be more thorough with shuffling the cards. "It's just that he was dealing me some weird cards. I just want procedure to be followed."
Lawrence Takes One
Phil Ivey's being aggressive in position, as you'd expect him to be. In this hand he raised from the button only to see Spencer Lawrence three-bet from the small blind. Ivey called before a
![{2-Clubs}](/img/cards/2c.gif)
![{10-Hearts}](/img/cards/10h.gif)
![{5-Spades}](/img/cards/5s.gif)
Lawrence bet and Ivey called so the turn came

The river came
