Negreanu Doubles Up First Hand Back

Tony G was very adamant about getting the game started on time, even without Phil Hellmuth being there. On the first hand back, Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 286,000 from the small blind with the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and then he began mimicking Tony G. Tony G eventually made the call with the {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} -- "an ace from space" as he called it.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} and Negreanu doubled up. Tony G was left with 100,000 chips.

Photo Shoot and Food Time

The chips have been taken off the table for a photo shoot with the 12 players from the PartyPoker Premier League IV. Once that's all done with, the players in this heat should be on their one-hour lunch/dinner break.

Tony G Steaming

Tony G moved all in from the small blind with pocket sevens and Roland De Wolfe made the call from the big blind with the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, putting his entire tournament on the line.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Tony G stayed ahead. The turn card was the {A-Hearts} though and Tony G went off.

"This deal is just incredible, I haven't won a hand!" he said, pacing around the table now. "It's like I'm drawing dead every hand," he went on to say, very upset about losing. Tony G took a little time to get on his bike and ride it around the Ravello Bar and cool off, but even when he returned, was still very upset about losing. He still has nearly 400,000 chips while De Wolfe doubled to 367,000.

Tony G and Hellmuth Getting Into It

Tony G
Tony G
Luke Schwartz raised to 40,000 with the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Tony G was in the big blind with the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. He was debating calling and then Schwartz wanted to ask a question. Phil Hellmuth chimed in and cut off Schwartz, complaining that the hand was taking too long. Tony G quickly cut off Hellmuth and told him "just shut up."

Schwartz then asked, "If he calls, can we agree to check it down?"

Hellmuth immediately chimed in because this isn't allowed and is looked at as a form of cheating. Tony G told Hellmuth just to stay quiet and keep to himself. Hellmuth got up from the table, arguing that this can't happen and went and got the tournament director so he could warn the players. Tony G then made the call.

The flop came down {K-?}{8-?}{6-?} and both players checked. The turn was an {A-?} and both players checked again. The river was a {7-?} and both checked again. Schwartz announced that he had jacks and won the hand.

Here's the Ruling

The ruling is in and the masks have been removed. Tony G and Roland De Wolfe were forced to take off the masks because it is not allowed to cover your face while you're in the casino. The tournament director took the masks away from the table and Tony G and De Wolfe looked a little bummed out like two kids having their favorite toys taken away.

Schwartz is Back in Full Force

Luke Schwartz came back and looked down at the {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}. He limped from under the gun and then David Benyamine limped beeind from middle position with the {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. vanessa Rousso checked her option in the big blind with the {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Rousso checked after picking up an open-ended straight draw. Schwartz bet 30,000 and then Benyamine thought about it for a little bit. While he was thinking, Schwartz started going on about how Benyamine was angling him. Eventually, Benyamine made the call. Rousso called as well.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and Rousso checked. Schwartz thought the card was so sick and talked about he hated it. He eventually checked over to Benyamine and told him to go ahead. Benyamine was tanking and Schwartz was needling him into betting, saying that if Benyamine bet, he'd move all in so fast that Benyamine wouldn't know what hit him. The dealer than warned Schwartz that there was three players in the hand and that he needed to keep quiet.

Benyamine then bet 123,000 with just his pair of sixes. Rousso folded and Schwartz began going on about how he thought Benyamine just smacked a pair of kings on the turn after flopping a king-high flush draw. After a minute went by...

"F*** it! F*** it!" Schwartz announced, splash-shoving his chips across the line into the middle. "With my heads up game, I'll beat anyone in this PartyPoker!" he yelled out as he stood up just after shoving in. Benyamine quickly folded his hand and Schwartz let him have it.

First, he walked a little towards Benyamine and pumped his hands at him, celebrating that he won the hand by reading the situation correctly. "In your eye David Benyamine! You think you can angle me?!?! You just got so pwned!" he yelled out.

Schwartz paced around as the dealer pushed the pot his way. "Thinks he's 10 years older than me so he knows!" he went on to say. "I had just a pair of jacks!"

What's the Law?

There's a law in Nevada that you can't cover your face in a casino. Daniel Negreanu questioned whether or not wearing the masks was legal and complained a little bit about Roland De Wolfe and Tony G wearing the masks. The tournament staff is going to check in on whether or not the law is true. We'll see what happens and let you know.
