Hellmuth Tangles With Haavisto

Level 20 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Stud Hi-Lo

In the previous hand, on fifth street, Hellmuth had {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Ville Haavisto {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades} showing. Hellmuth bet himself after calling the earlier streets and Haavisto folded.

In the next hand, Hellmuth limped a nine after Haavisto brought it in with the {6-Clubs}.

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
Ville Haavisto: {x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} / {x-}

Hellmuth bet fourth and fifth street before check-calling on sixth and seventh. Haavisto showed {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for two pair and Hellmuth shot out of his seat. He stared at his cards, then the board, then his cards again before flinging them into the muck with much dismay.

Pot-Limit Omaha

All the action unfolded preflop and it escalated quickly. Didier Rabl opened from the button to 30,000, Ville Haavisto raised the pot to 110,000, Rabl shoved and Haavisto called.

Didier Rabl: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ville Haavisto: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Rabl didn't get any help to be eliminated in 10th place.

Razz

The bubble lasted only a couple of hands in Event #5, with Razz being the game that sent all the remaining players in the money. In the crucial hand, David "ODB" Baker brought it in with the {q-} and Jeff Madsen completed to 15,000 with a {4-}.

Baker called and received a {9-}, while Madsen paired his {4-}. Baker went all in for 12,000 and Madsen called.

David "ODB" Baker: {q-}{9-}{q-}{4-}{8-}{2-}{3-} for a 9-8-4-3-2 low
Jeff Madsen: {4-}{4-}{7-}{5-}{8-}{6-}{a-} for a 7-6-5-4-A low

With Baker's elimination, all remaining players are guaranteed at least €5,654.

Sandvik Eliminates Two; Field on the Bubble

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Eli Elezra
Eli Elezra

Espen Sandvik eliminated both Bruno Stefanelli and Eli Elezra to bring the field to the bubble.

First, Bruno Stefanelli was left short and lost the last of his chips in a 2-7 Triple Draw hand against Sandvik.

A couple of hands later, the game changed to No-Limit Hold'em and Eli Elezra was the one at risk. Elezra had 200,000 for around 13 blinds and shoved first to act. Sandvik was in the small blind and reshoved all in.

Eli Elezra: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Espen Sandvik: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"Nice bubble for me," Elezra said while getting up from his seat. The dealer brought an unexpected sweat on the {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, giving a flush draw and a gutshot to Elezra.

The {9-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} on the river weren't the cards that Elezra needed to see and the field was left with 12 players.

Gluszko Doubles-Up; Step-Back for Hellmuth

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Phill Hellmuth and Tomasz Gluszko clashed in a draw hand, where Hellmuth raised to 30,000 preflop and called Gluszko's raise to 45,000.

They both changed two cards in the first draw and Hellmuth check-called Gluszko's bet for 15,000.

On the second draw they changed again two cards, and as earlier, Hellmuth check-called Gluszko's bet for 30,000.

On the last draw, Gluszko asked again for two cards, while Hellmuth changed only one.

Tomasz Gluszko: {2-}{3-}{5-}{6-}{7-}
Phil Hellmuth: {2-}{4-}{5-}{6-}{10-}

As Gluszko said, he had {2-}{3-}{7-} from the beginning and he hit two great cards in the last draw to stay in the game.
