The Kid's Short

Hold'em:

Daniel Negreanu is down to just 18,000 after he folded to a Lederer bet on a {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} board.

By his expression, it seemed as if the board got worse and worse for his hand. He's really under pressure now.

Level: 13

Blinds: 0/0

Subdued Table

On the Lederer, Ivey, Negreanu table things have become a little subdued. It might be that almost every pot is either being split or not getting to showdown. For those feeling card dead there isn't much to keep them entertained or any interesting hands to spark a conversation.

Hellmuth In His Element

Hold'em:

Back to good old hold'em, and it folds around to Hellmuth who makes up the small blind. Eric Albinsson in the big blind checks.

Hellmuth bets out on the {K-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop, and Albinsson swiftly calls. Hellmuth check-calls the {4-Diamonds} turn, and then bets out again on the {10-Hearts} river. Albinsson thinks about for a moment before tentatively calling, but just taps the table and mucks when Hellmuth turns over {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for top pair.

Duvall Triples Up

Jeff Duvall scooped a massive three-way pot against Mark Gregorich and Jeff Lisandro for his tournament life. Virtually all in by sixth street with just 300 chips behind, he threw that in too before seventh street was dealt, and enjoyed a full triple-up come showdown putting him up to around 60,000, although he lost a few chips back to Phil Hellmuth the very next hand. He's now on around 45,000, while Mark Gregorich is down to just 17,000.

Hellmuth Loses Pot, Loses His Rag

Sherkhan Farnood has set Phill Hellmuth a-ranting. He won a monster stud pot from him, resulting in Farnood now shifting up to the heady heights of 120,000, while Hellmuth is down to around 70,000. "Split sevens against my rolled up eights?" cries Hellmuth. "You're the worst player I've ever seen. It doesn't matter though, I'm going to get all those chips back off you." Said a very jovial Farnood, "I would be glad to give these chips back to you."

Luckily Padraig Parkinson is on hand to shout some advice from the rail: "Don't get upset now, Phil, you're the man. Phil! Relax! You're my f***ing hero."
