Hellmuth Doubles Up

Phil Hellmuth doubled up to 46,000 after his opponent set him all in and Phil made the call.

The board read:

{K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts}

Phil turned over {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} for the flopped full house, getting his opponent to muck his hand as the meaningless river card was dealt.

Mizrachi Doubles Through Ferguson

Three players limped, then Chris Ferguson raised to 3,600 from the button. Michael Mizrachi then reraised to 9,700 from the small blind. The others folded, and after Ferguson asked for a count of Mizrachi's chips, he made the call.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Mizrachi pushed the rest of his chips in the middle. Ferguson called.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Ferguson: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both had heart flush draws, but Mizrachi's was the better one. The turn and river were the {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades}, and the Grinder's aces carried the day.

Mizrachi has vaulted up to about 85,000, while Ferguson has slipped to 40,000.

A New Champion Will Be Crowned This Year
Burt Boutin will not be able to defend his $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha with Rebuys title, as he was recently eliminated by David Benyamine.

The board read {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}.

Boutin had {A-?} {10-?} {9-?} {9-?} for the flopped full house, but Benyamine had {A-?} {Q-?} {8-Diamonds} {2-?} for the turned quads.

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu limped from under the gun, then Michael Binger, sitting to his left, raised to 2,600. It folded around and Negreanu made the call.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and both checked. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}. Negreanu checked, Binger bet 4,000, and Negreanu quickly called.

The river was the {5-Clubs}, and Negreanu pushed three pink chips out -- 15,000. Binger hemmed and hawed for three or four minutes before finally mucking.

"Show the bluff!" said Eli Elezra from across the table. Negreanu just grinned. He's up to about 58,000. Binger has around 65,000.

Bingo Bango Bongo

Mike Sexton has been on the short stack for a while, but finally picked up a nice PLO hand -- A-A-x-x double-suited -- and got someone to gamble with him. He made a flush on the turn, and now is back up to 30,000.
