Christian Roberts: 7xAx/10x3x6xQx/4x

Christian Roberts bet on fourth street, and Christopher Claassen called. After four bets on fifth street, Claassen was all in and at risk.

Roberts made a seven-low on seventh street. Claassen's wheel draw turned into an eight-low, but it was not enough to win the pot.

"Alright boys, see you next year," Claassen said to his former table on the way out.

Limit Hold'em

Chris Hunichen raised under the gun, and Phil Hellmuth called off his last 29,000 in the big blind.

Chris Hunichen: A♣Q♦ All in
Phil Hellmuth: J♥2♠

Hunichen flopped two pair on 8♠Q♠A♠ but Hellmuth had a flush draw for some outs. The 6♦ turn did not bring a spade, and neither did the Q♥ river as Hunichen's full house sent Hellmuth to the rail.

At another table, Andrew Kelsall lost his final chips to Clayton Mozdzen in a pot of seven card stud.

Thomas Keller: XxXx / 6♣K♣5♠10♦ / Xx All in
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx / J♦Xx - folded on fourth street
Jason Mercier: XxXx / 8♥2♠K♥3♠ / Xx

Hellmuth limped next to the bring-in which brought along the others as it went five ways to fourth.

Turner led on fourth, Keller called, Hellmuth folded, Mercier called, and Klein folded.

Turner led fifth with open aces, Keller raised all-in for 36,000, and both Mercier and Turner called.

Turner would lead again on sixth and seventh and Mercier called down for the side pot. Turner revealed K♦4♠4♥ in the hole for aces-up while Mercier revealed J♥5♥4♣ for an eight-five low, and the side pot was chopped.

Keller had 10♣8♣5♣ as he caught a fifth club on seventh to make his flush, and he won the high for the main pot to survive.

Sion kept firing on sixth street, seeing Kalas call again. Sion slowed down on seventh street, checking it over to Kalas. Kalas' subsequent bet sent Sion in the tank.

After some time, the clock was called on Sion. During the final ten seconds of his countdown, Sion let his hand go as he gave up on the pot.

Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx / 3♦9♣5♠6♥ / Xx

Action picked up on sixth with over 100,000 in the middle already and one big bet in front of each player.

Ivey led with open aces and Gluszko put in the call. On seventh, Ivey elected to check to Gluszko who peeked at his final card and bet as Ivey instantly called. He got the bad news as Gluszko tabled 6♦6♣4♠ in the hole for trip sixes which were enough for the scoop as Ivey mucked.
