Hand #30 - Beth Shak has the button in seat 10, Hellmuth limps from the small blind for 20,000, and Fineman checks his option. The flop comes {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Hellmuth bets 20,000, Fineman raises, and Hellmuth quickly moves all in for 139,000, and Fineman calls. While his chips are counted out, he rushes to the rail to whisper something to his wife. He then jumps up and says, "Ivey! I want insurance, Ivey!" After another minute, he tells his wife, "If we lose, I get $90,000 from Ivey!"

Oh yeah, the cards.

Hellmuth shows {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of aces, and Fineman shows {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks. Hellmuth is in the lead.

The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, and Fineman needs a jack or a nine on the river to bust Hellmuth. The river card is the {3-Spades}, and Hellmuth wins the pot with a pair of aces to double up in chips.

We heard a rumor that Phil Ivey has already locked up fourth-place money by winning his sidebets against Phil Hellmuth.

The flop comes {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Richey checks, Friedman bets 45,000, and Richey calls. The turn card is the {9-Hearts}, Richey checks, Friedman bets 75,000, and Richey folds. Friedman takes the pot.

Hand #24 - Daniel Corbin Eliminated in 9th Place ($30,814)

Hand #24 - Ben Fineman has the button in seat 3, Corbin moves all in from early position for 109,000, Pillai moves all in over the top for 258,000, and Shak moves all in over the top of both of them! This is a three-way all-in situation, and here are the cards:

Corbin: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Pillai: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Shak: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The flop comes {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and Pillai retains the lead with his pair of eights, but he needs to avoid four overcards -- the ace, the king, the queen, and the nine.

The turn card is the {3-Clubs}, and Beth Shak picks up a club flush draw. Corbin needs a king or a nine, but no club. Shak needs an ace, a queen, or any club. And Pillai wins with anything else.

The river card is the {3-Hearts}, and Pillai wins the pot with two pair, eights and threes.

Daniel Corbin is eliminated in ninth place, earning $30,814. The next player eliminated will receive $42,227 for eighth place.
