Phil "Poker Brat" Hellmuth is out, having never been able to accumulate chips much at all today.
He had all of his short stack in the middle on a
flop against two opponents. The turn was the 
, and the river the 
. One showed 
for a flush, and Hellmuth mucked.
"Usually I get to razz, then they move me again," he said.
"So you've basically been playing H-O-R, then," said Bryan Devonshire.
The player sitting under the gun limped, Michael Binger raised from middle position, the player sitting to Binger's left in the hijack seat called, Tuan Le called from the button, the blinds folded, and the original limper called.
The flop came
. It checked to Binger who bet, the hijack folded, Le called, and the UTG player called as well. The turn was the 
. It checked to Binger who again bet, and this time only Le called. Both checked the
on the river. Binger opened his hand -- 
-- then opened his hands, non-verbally saying "it ain't much." His pair of aces were enough, though, as Le mucked.Binger has 14,200, and Le 31,000.
Bryan "Devo" Devonshire raised from middle position, Doyle Brunson reraised from the big blind, and Devonshire called. Brunson drew one, Devonshire drew two, Brunson bet, and Devonshire called.
On the second draw, both players took one card. Brunson again bet, and Devonshire called. Brunson stood pat on the last round, while Devonshire asked for one card. This time Brunson checked, and when Devonshire bet, Brunson let it go.
Brunson has 5,200 now, while Devonshire is up to 19,000.
Not surprisingly, Flack now finds himself feeling a little parched. "Cocktails!" he just cried. "I've got a bigger order this time!"
Flack has about 20,000 at the moment.
Dario Alioto just took a 2-7 Triple Draw hand from Maria Ho. They both took a card on the second draw, and Ho called Alioto's bet. On the last draw, Ho took one and Alioto stood pat. Ho picked up a queen on the end, showing 
, meaning Alioto's 9-low was good enough.
Alioto has a healthy stack of over 25,000, while Ho is down to just 2,800.
