Hellmuth's Main Event Run Comes to an End

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth

It folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who limped. Chi Chen raised to 10,000 in the big blind, and Hellmuth called.

On the A♠5♦2♠ flop, Hellmuth checked to Chen who bet 8,000. Hellmuth then announced all in for his remaining 67,000, and Chen immediately called.

Phil Hellmuth: 9♠7♠ All in
Chi Chen: A♦10♠

Hellmuth held a spade flush draw against the top pair of Chen. The camera crews hovered over the table as the 3♣ turn offered no additional outs for Hellmuth, except for a four to chop.

However, the river was the 8♥, and the 17-time bracelet winner was eliminated from the Main Event. He wished his opponents farewell and exited the tournament area in silence as his quest for number 18 will have to wait another day.

Foydl Hits Runner Runner to Stay Alive

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Raymond Ho raised to 8,000 from early position and was looked up by Richard Foydl in late position.

The flop came Q♠6♣J♠ and Ho continued for 6,000. Foydl thought for a while and moved all in for 37,000. Ho snap-called and had Foydl covered.

Richard Foydl: A♥Q♣ All in
Raymond Ho: Q♦J♦

Ho had out flopped Foydl who still had some outs to hit to stay alive.

The dealer rolled over the K♥ as the turn which gave Foydl some additional outs, one being the K♣ which peeled off on the river and gave Foydl a better two pair to scoop the pot for a double-up.

Any Baccarat Players Around?

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jacob Long raised to 8,000 in the hijack and was called by Hossein Ensan on the button. Alban Juen then squeezed to 40,000 in the small blind only for James Cedrone to four-bet to 110,000 behind. Long and Ensan quickly folded and Juen sighed, then flickered his cards upside down so Ensan could see them and Cedrone possibly as well.

Juen folded and the dealer exposed the A♦Q♠, which left Juen somewhat perplexed only for Ensan to clarify he had seen the cards.

"I had ace-eight by the way, if anyone wants to know," Long said.

"Cool story bro, nobody cares. That's a good hand in Baccarat," Timothy Kuok told him.

Gardes and Nguyen Seeing Double

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tracy Nguyen opened from early position and Albert Gardes, who was sat to her direct left, moved all in and was at risk for their last 68,000. Nguyen was the only taker, and the pair headed to showdown. There was some hesitation from both players before tabling their hands, and Nguyen said, "you went all in!"

Albert Gardes : A♥Q♦All in
Tracy Nguyen: A♦Q♥

There was no other way to end the hand other than a chop after the dealer fanned the 8♣K♣10♦ flop. They shared the blinds after the dealer placed the 7♠ turn and 9♠ river.

The cameras were focused on Nicholas Hellmuth in the big blind, who moved all in for 19,000 on a board of 3♥Q♣3♠8♦6♣ with 27,000 already in the pot.

Benjamin Parent in the small blind went deep into the tank and called, only to run into Hellmuth's flopped full house with Q♥3♣.

Ameen Finds Nuts on River

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Arriving on the Q♥K♦7♦A♥8♦ river, with 95,000 in the pot, Sam Ameen check-shoved for 164,000 against Lucas Silva Bandeira. Bandeira looked him up, but he could not beat the A♦2♦ of Ameen, who had rivered the nut flush.

"I almost checked back," Bandeira lamented as he saw a small portion of his huge stack being moved to his neighbor.

Ugarte Falls to Peters with Aces Full

Eduardo Ugarte peeled his cards under the gun before announcing, "all in," for his remaining 81,000. Action folded to David Peters in the cutoff, who thought for some time before doing the same, with 141,000 in his stack. The rest of the table folded, and Peters found himself up against it.

Eduardo Ugarte: A♣A♦ All in
David Peters: Q♣Q♥

The one thing Ugarte didn't want to see was a lady, but the window card was exactly that, bringing a reaction from the table. As if that wasn't horrifying enough for him, the full Q♠9♣Q♦ flop gave Peters quads, effectively crushing Ugarte's Main Event dreams.

The turn 3♦ sealed the deal, as a player at the table called, "Queen!" which was the only way in which Ugarte could stay alive. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, not only was the deck in working order, it was also a needler, as the A♠ was placed down, garnering further reactions from the table.

The runout saw Ugarte head home with nothing but a brutal bad beat story.

Fast Runs Out of Gas

Dietrich Fast checked from the big blind on the 10♠K♦5♦ flop and Duane Blanchard fired 9,000 from under the gun. Fast called.

Fast check-called another bet from Blanchard on the K♣ turn, this time for 20,000.

The 3♦ completed the board, and Fast led out for a tiny 8,000. Blanchard peered over at Fast's remaining stack, which totaled around 35,000, before slowly raising to 21,000. Fast made the call.

Blanchard tabled A♠K♥ for trip kings with an ace kicker to take down the pot, while Fast showed the K♠ for trips himself, leaving him very short-stacked.

A few hands later, Fast was seen leaving the Paris Ballroom as he had been eliminated.

Jason James raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, and Chino Rheem called on the button. James checked on the 10♠2♦K♦ flop and K♠ turn before he called Rheem's bets of 10,000 and 14,000.

The 7♦ river then checked to showdown. James showed 9♥9♦, but Rheem had the higher pair with J♠10♦ to take the pot.

Pansini Felted by Woodward

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A large pot had built already when Christopher Pansini was awaiting his fate and Will Woodward then isolated successfully to force out the third player in the hand. Pansini showed 2♦2♥ for bottom set on the K♣J♣2♠8♣7♥ board but it was no good, as Woodward had flopped the higher set with J♠J♦ to claim the last 63,000 of Pansini.
