Dogballs For Robl

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Robert Tepper is one of the few names we're not particularly familiar with in this remaining field, and he's now in danger of leaving us.

His troubles began when Andrew Robl opened the pot with a raise in front of him. Tepper looked down at {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and three-bet to 6,000, and Robl shoved back over the top for 37,500 total. Tepper, of course, called quickly, and Robl's {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} had himself in a world of trouble.

The dealer saved Robl's tournament life, though, spreading a {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} board to secure his unlikely double.

Jetten Bows Out

Peter Jetten was unable to recover from his early crippling at the hands of Dan Fleyshman. A moment ago, Jetten three-bet shoved his short stack in what would be his final hand of the day. Michael Mizrachi had opened the pot, but it was Massimiliano Martinez that made the call to put Jetten at risk.

Showdown
Jetten: {6-} {6-}
Martinez: {7-} {7-}

The board ran {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {9-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Spades}, and Jetten couldn't catch up. He quietly wished his table luck and headed out the door.

Haxton Falls, Too

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We only caught up on the turn in this pot, joining in time to see Isaac Haxton flick out a blue T10,000 chip on the turn of a {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board. There was about 12,000 in the pot, and Joel Nordkvist thought for a moment before announcing a covering all in. Haxton sunk in his chair and lowered his head onto the rail, clearly a bit uncomfortable with the decision facing him. He broke down his stack, eyeballing his remaining ~34,000 chips with a bit of a sad look on his face, for lack of a better way to put it. Finally, he opened his hands to the ceiling and said, "All right, I call."

Showdown
Haxton: {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}
Nordkvist: {9-Spades} {10-Spades}

Haxton was on the come, but he had about as many outs as he could have hoped for. He needed to find any nine, queen, king, ace, or spade, but the river was the blank {6-Clubs}. That won't get it done, and Haxton's day has come to an end.

See You in November

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player we don't recognize raised to open the pot, and Matt Giannetti three-bet shoved for another 9,000 on top. He didn't have enough chips to get {A-Hearts} {4-Spades} to fold, and that would end up being a problem for his {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}.

One by one, the dealer placed the board cards on the felt, starting with the {A-Spades} right away. The board read {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades} in the end, and Giannetti was already packed up and ready to roll when the final card hit the board.

He'll have a couple more chances to snag a bracelet on this trip, followed by the biggest final table of his life at the November Nine in Las Vegas.

The Demise and Elimination of Phil Hellmuth, with Some Needling from Tony G

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Phil Hellmuth eliminated
Phil Hellmuth eliminated

Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated after an up-and-down ride over the past little bit before finally being eliminated.

Jason Mercier relayed a couple hands to us involving Hellmuth and here's what he had to say. According to him, Jonathan Duhamel raised to 2,000 and Hellmuth reraised to 6,200 with 9,000 behind. Action folded to Randy Dorfman and he moved all in. Duhamel folded and then Hellmuth also chucked his cards into the muck.

On another hand, Mercier raised to 2,000, Juhan Lauttamus called and then Hellmuth called from the big blind. On the {6-}{3-}{2-} flop with two clubs, Hellmuth checked, Mercier bet 2,600, Lauttamus called and then Hellmuth min-raised to 5,200 with 1,200 behind. Mercier folded and then Lauttamus moved all in. Hellmuth called with the {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Lauttamus held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

The turn was a {5-} and the river another {5-}. Neither was a club and Hellmuth's straight allowed him to double up.

On his final hand, Hellmuth was all in preflop with the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} versus Davidi Kitai's {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Hellmuth headed for the exit. While walking away from the table, Hellmuth walked past Tony G. The two have had plenty of historical banter between them and Tony G asked, "You get biked? You leaving?" Hellmuth didn't respond directly, but was mumbling about never winning a race. "Wow, that's so far to come to go out so early," added Tony G.

Hellmuth was pacing and continued mumbling. Tony G rubbed some more salt in the wounds by telling Hellmuth he wasn't good enough for these stakes and that he needs to go back down to the smaller buy-ins. The players in the room got a good laugh from this and Tony G was just having fun at Hellmuth's expense. Hellmuth didn't engage in the banter and made his way out the door.
