Anatolii Ozhenilok was caught in the battles between Wigg and Hellmuth for a long time but after moving to a new table he got quickly eliminated. Ozhenilok shoved all-in pre flop for his remaining 18,500 chips and got called by Casey Kastle who was in the big blind.

giving Kastle a pair of aces and the knock out. There will be a redraw now after which we will continue playing with just three tables.

He was quiet for almost two entire days but ever since Benjamin Pollak clashed with him a couple of orbits ago Phil hasn't stopped talking! We joined the action in a big pot with the board showing 
and Anton Wigg bet 23,800. Hellmuth gave it some thought before calling and this put Pollak in a very tough spot. After a while Pollak folded his set of treys and Wigg showed 
. Hellmuth sat motionless for a number of seconds before releasing his cards.
"This guy! He's trying to give me all his chips! He's been bluffing all night long. Come on!" Phil shouted at Wigg who just stacked his chips without replying. "At least the live one is playing pots," Phil added to his rant.
"I'm quite alive indeed," Wigg replied.
The very next hand Wigg raised to 4,800, getting calls from, yet again, Hellmuth and Pollak. The flop brought out 
and after Hellmuth had checked, Pollak bet 6,200. Wigg called and so did Hellmuth. The turn was the 
and within a second Hellmuth threw out 14,000 chips. Pollak folded but Wigg was going nowhere. The river was the 
and Hellmuth verbally announced his 22,000 bet. Wigg snap-folded and Hellmuth instantly showed his 
.
"Of course I have the nuts!" Hellmuth yelled for everyone to hear.
Wigg could only produce a little smirk right before the next hand started. The player to Wigg's right raised to 5,000 and within seconds the Swede released a 11,700 size three-bet.
"How much is it?" Hellmuth asked, and affter getting confirmation he called. The initial raiser folded so Wigg and Hellmuth clashed for the third consecutive hand. The flop brought out 
and Hellmuth check-folded to Wigg's 8,700 bet. "Floor!" Hellmuth shouted to keep his show going before releasing his hand. "When are you gonna break this table?" the 11-time bracelet winner asked. The floor explained that this was going to be one of the two final tables and Hellmuth responded with, "Good. I've made some plans. My style is great. It's just great". Hellmuth showed his 
and Wigg tabled his proving he actually had a hand. "You won a flip, so what?" Hellmuth added leaving Wigg with a smile on his face.
We will make sure we follow all of this banter, action and Hellmuth antics for the remainder of the day because the fireworks between Wigg, Pollak and the self proclaimed best player in the world seem to be far from over.

The last time Phil Hellmuth tangled with Benjamin Pollak in the blind battle he came out of the encounter with a bloody nose after being forced to lay down the four-bet. Unfortunately, for the big man, he has just tried to have another go at the Frenchman and once again ended up a little worse for wear!
The action folded around to Hellmuth who decided to raise to 4,900 and Benjamin Pollak made the call. The flop of 
was checked through and we saw the 
on the turn. Hellmuth made a very confident looking 9,000 bet and Pollak made the call. The river was the 
and Hellmuth checked to Pollak who bet 18,500 and then the fun started. Hellmuth started talking to himself and was visibly angry. Then he moved from talking to himself to talking to Pollak.
"You wanna mess with me? Well the deck had better save you."
"I knew I was going to get you after the last hand."
"I am 100% going to bust you."
"OK its OK you can show the bluff."
Were the main sentences that came out of Hellmuth;s mouth and landed on my note pad. He folded his hand and Pollak waved the nine-high bluff at Hellmuth and hauled in the pot. Hellmuth started again.
"You called a 9k bet with nine high. This is not poker!"
"You guys play so bad against me. 9K with nine high!"
Then after speaking to himself and then Pollak he decided to speak to anyone else who would listen to him.
"Freddy, Freddy (Deeb) they have got me talking to myself now!"

Anton Wigg raised under the gun making it 5,000 and there were two cold-callers (Phil Hellmuth and Benjamin Pollak) before Robert Finlay moved all-in for 31,300. Wigg snap-folded, Hellmuth asked for a count before also folding but Pollak took a little while longer but also eventually folded. Finlay showed the table pocket fives.
"Wow! Looks like we all made bad folds," Said Wigg.
