Tony G Doubles Through Eugene Katchatov

Mark Vos raises to 16K on the button. Eugene Katchatov calls from the small blind and Tony G calls from the big blind. The three players see a flop of {4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The action checked around. The {K-Hearts} came off on the turn. Katchatov bet 25K. Tony G immediately moved in for 28.5K. Vos folded and Katchatov made the call. Tony G showed {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} which was ahead of Katchatov's {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The river was the {4-Spades} missing Eugene Katchatov and giving Tony G the pot and he now sits with over 100K.

Hellmuth Crippled

On a flop of {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Phil Helmuth moved all in and Thierry Van Den Berg called.

Hellmuth: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Van Den Berg: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Hellmuth was ahead with a set. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and the river was the {Q-Hearts}. Hellmuth lost to a bigger set and he exploded. The F-bomb came out of Hellmuth's mouth along with the word "donkey" on more than one instance.

That hand pushed Thierry Van Den Berg up to 215K, as Hellmuth slipped to 29K.

Raj Sawant Gets the Better of Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth raised to 16K under the gun. Action folded around to Raj Sawant in the big blind who made the call. The flop came down {J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Both players checked. The turn brought the {4-Spades}. Sawant checked and Hellmuth bet 20K. Sawant pondered a bit and Hellmuth said, "Tell you what...I'll take this one and you take the next one..." Sawant eventually made the call. The river came the {4-Hearts}. Sawant again checked and Hellmuth fired 40K. Sawant, after a minute or so of deliberation, pushed out the call. Hellmuth instantly said "Nice call...you got me." Both players were slow to showdown, but Savant eventually turned up the {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Hellmuth mucked.
