Bellande Loses Three-Way All In

We came across the remnants of this hand and what looked to be a pretty steamed Jean-Robert Bellande. In front of him laid {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Bellande was up against two all in players.

Cheung Fung held {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and the third player held {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Bellande was forced to ship over a solid chunk of his stack.

Hellmuth Heating Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Joseph McGowan raised to 4,100 from early position, and Phil Hellmuth called from the hijack seat. Kristijonas Andrulis called from the small blind, and the three players saw the flop come down {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Andrulis opted to go with the lead bet and fired 8,500. McGowan folded, then Hellmuth folded the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} face up.

"Wow, the kid's running hot!" exclaimed Hellmuth. He then mumbled some more things under his breath, but along the lines of eventually getting all of Andrulis' chips. Then he said, "Actually, I'm not even gonna get you. You're gonna get yourself!"

Trickett Tussles With Dannenmann

We found Steve Dannenmann and Sam Trickett looking down at a board of {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Dannenmann moved 11,500 into the middle and Trickett called.

Dannenmann rolled over {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a straight and Trickett threw his cards away.

"It's my favorite hand," remarked Dannenmann as he scooped in his new chips.

More Hellmuth and Andrulis Back and Forth

From under the gun, Phil Hellmuth limped in. Robert Schiffbauer also limped from the hijack seat, then Kristijonas Andrulis raised to 6,000 on the button. Hellmuth called, and Schiffbauer folded.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} with Hellmuth having checked in the dark. Andrulis fired 5,000, but Hellmuth check-raised to 11,000.

"I'm gonna put my sunglasses on for this one," said Hellmuth as he waited for Andrulis to make a decision.

"Why would you do that?" replied Andrulis. He then called.

"Wow, the kid called!" said Hellmuth.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth checked. Andrulis tossed out 13,000. Hellmuth laughed, but in a disgusted manner and flipped over the {A-Spades}{5-Spades} as he folded. Andrulis slammed over the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a worse hand and laughed out loud at Hellmuth. This sent Hellmuth off a little bit.

"Wow! He came at me with nine-ten when I had the nut flush draw!" exclaimed Hellmuth. "In two hours you're gonna ask yourself, 'What did I do?' while you're in the taxi ride home and thinking about how you gave Phil all your chips."

Andrulis couldn't do much, but laugh. Later he added, "I just wish we could play tomorrow if I make it, at the same table."

Kuether Climbing

On a {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop, Joe Kuether fired 4,500 only to be raised to 13,000 by Joao Barbosa. Kuether called and the {4-Spades} turned.

Kuether checked and Barbosa quickly checked right behind. The {6-Diamonds} fell on the river and Kuether checked for a second time. Barbosa tapped the table too and showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for absolutely nothing. Kuether tabled {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and his pair of nines took the pot down.
