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
flop was dealt, and then called a bet from Albinsson. They both checked the 
turn and 
river, before turning over the same hand -- 
for Hellmuth and 
for Albinsson. Chop, chop.
The Kid's Short
Daniel Negreanu is down to just 18,000 after he folded to a Lederer bet on a
board.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
flop. Hellmuth bets, Lisandro raises and Hellmuth calls.Lisandro bets out on the
turn and Hellmuth passes. Lisandro flashes him pocket 
. "That's right," says Hellmuth, "You just keep getting away with that..."
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
and the board reading 
. Phil Hellmuth is once again declaring him, "The worst player in the history of the world," and reluctantly throws his cards down; they are 
.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
flop came down.Lawrence bet and Ivey called so the turn came
. This time Lawrence checked, then called a 6,000 Ivey bet.The river came
and Lawrence led out for a 6,000 bet that Ivey called. Lawrence tabled 
and after some consideration of his hand Ivey mucked.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 14th (£ 5,500)
Daniel Negreanu has just been eliminated by Phil Ivey. A raising war ensued on the flop before all the chips went in. The flop was
.Negreanu tabled
and Ivey tabled 
.The turn came
and river . Ivey's straight was good enough to beat Negreanu's set and eliminate the Canadian in 14th place.
Gregorich Enjoys a Lucky Double Up
All in on third street, Mark Gregorich lucked out a little to double up through Phil Hellmuth to a still-desperate 23,000 or so.
