Bonomo Doubles; Sheikh Sent Packing
Scott Seiver raised to 6,000 under the gun only to have Justin Bonomo three-bet all in for 59,500. [Removed:163] then moved all in over the top for 62,500, Seiver folded, and the cards were turned up.
| Showdown |
Sheikh:   |
Bonomo:   |
Seiver reacted as if he had the best hand, and then let out a chuckle when the flop fell 
. According to him, he had held 
. Unfortunately for him, he didn't make the call and it would be Bonomo who would win the pot as the 
turn and 
river completed the board.
That left Sheikh with just 3,000 in chips, and two hands later the 2,000 he had left went in. Three other players created a side pot and then checked the 
flop. Seiver proceeded to bet 9,000 on the 
turn, both his opponents folded, and the cards were tabled:

Sheikh:   |
Seiver:   |
The 
river was no help for Sheikh and he made a quick exit from the tournament floor.

Roberts Out of the Danger Zone
Ben Roberts was one of the shortest stacks for quite some time, but this level has been very kind to him. We just saw him all in pre flop against Prosper Masquellier for 83,500.
Showdown:
Ben Roberts: 
Prosper Masquellier:
The board ran out 
, and Roberts doubled up.
"I created a monster," Salman Behbehani said jokingly as he probably doubled up Roberts earlier on. Masquellier has nothing to worry about as he's still doing very well.

Roberts Keeps Hopes Alive on River
We're not sure when the chips went in, but we can tell you that Ben Roberts just doubled through Salman Behbehani. Roberts held against the 
of Behbehani on a

Tedeschi Fires Hellmuth Up
Paul Tedeschi raised to 7,500 from middle position, and Phill Hellmuth quickly three-bet him to 35,000 from the cutoff. The action was folded back around to Tedeschi who tanke for a bit.
"I'll take this one, you'll take the next one kid!" Hellmuth said. It didn't help as Tedeschi made the call.
The board ran out 
as both players checked the hand down.
"Jack," Tedeschi said before he turned over his . Hellmuth immediately stood up from his chair and snapped his cards back and forth.
"You put in 35,000 chips with jack high? You wanna play? I'll take'em!" Hellmuth said as he was visibly frustrated. "I had a straight flush draw. I was in front pre flop, in front on the flop and you were just a slight favorite on the turn" Hellmuth yelled as JC Alvarado, who had seen his cards, told Tedeschi that Hellmuth had 
offsuit. Hellmuth took a small hit, but is still one of the big stacks in the room.

Liv-ing the Life
Herve Clerc opened to 6,500 from the button and the small blind called. Liv Boeree three-bet to 18,000 from the big blind only to have Clerc four-bet to 38,000. The small blind folded and Boeree thought for about a minute before flat calling.
The flop prompted a quick check from Boeree. Clerc moved 60,000 into the middle and Boeree check-raised all in for 140,500. Clerc thought for quite some time before letting go of his cards, moving Boeree's stack up to 275,000.

Pocket Tens Do It Again
We didn't catch the preflop action, but we do know that Aaron Lim ended up all in and at risk against Nicolas Cardyn.
| Showdown |
| Cardyn: |
Lim:  |
Pocket tens proved good enough for Bruno Fitoussi to double just minutes ago, and this time they were good enough for Cardyn to send Lim to the rail as the board ran out 
.

Fitoussi vs. Lechich
Curt Kohlberg opened for 6,500 from middle position only to have Tino Lechich move all in from the cutoff for 44,000. Bruno Fitoussi, who has been nursing a short stack here on Day 3, then called off for 35,500 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way, as did Kohlberg, and the cards were turned up.
| Showdown |
| Lechich: |
Fitoussi:  |
It was a classic flip, and while pocket tens didn't work out so well for Dan Smith at the same table ten minutes before, they worked just fine for the Fitoussi as the board ran out a clean 
. Meanwhile, Lechich was left with just 8,500 after the hand.
