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!"

Tom McCormick: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}, {8-Clubs} and McCormick doubled up. He was all in for 52,100 and is now back around the average stack.

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.

Epp's Pair of Tens Beats Julius' Sevens

Action folded to Max Silver on the button, and he raised to 2,500. In the small blind, Kyle Julius called. Gillian Epp called from the big blind, and the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Action checked over to Silver, and he fired 4,200. After Julius made the call, Epp raised to 10,200. Silver folded, but Julius called.

The turn was the {4-Spades} to pair the board. Julius checked, and Epp checked. The river then completed the board with the {3-Clubs}, and Julius checked. Epp checked behind.

Julius showed the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, but Epp's {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} was better and she won the pot.
