Who's Got Who Crushed?

No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded to Phil Hellmuth on the button and he raised to 4,000. David Grey three-bet to 13,500 from the small blind. Danny Fuhs four-bet from the big blind to 30,000.

Hellmuth tanked for a bit, stood up and gave his Hellmuth antics before folding. He showed half of the table that he laid down ace-king, while the other players were still to act. Grey tanked for just under 50,000 behind and eventually folded, giving Fuhs the pot.

Hellmuth piped up and said he would have shoved on Grey if Fuhs folded, saying that he laid down ace-king, which half the table could vouch for. Grey pointed at Fuhs and said, "I didn't have him crushed," before pointing at Hellmuth and saying, "But I had you crushed."

The table got a bit of a laugh from that comment as Fuhs raked in the pot.

Lee Goldman Third Player to Bust

Lee Goldman on Day 1
Lee Goldman on Day 1

2-7 Triple Draw

Lee Goldman was just eliminated, and Ben Yu told us what happened in the hand that was won by Antony Lellouche.

Lellouche raised, Yu called and Goldman three-bet after which both players called. On the first draw Lellouche needed one card, while Yu and Goldman took two.

Goldman bet, Lellouche raised, Yu called and the action was back on Goldman. He had a little less than one bet left, and decided to move all in. Lellouche put in the fourth bet, and Yu called giving us heads up action on the side.

On the second draw all three players took one card. Lellouche bet and Yu called. Lellouche didn't need another card on the final draw, while both Yu and Goldman took one card. Lellouche bet again, Yu folded and Goldman showed {J-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Lellouche had made the nuts, which is a {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and knocked out Goldman.

Michael Binger
Michael Binger

2-7 Triple Draw

Patrik Antonius just raised to 4,000 from middle position and Michael Binger defended his big blind. On the first draw Binger needed three cards, and Antonius took two.

Binger check-called 2,000 and took two cards on the second draw. Antonius stayed one step ahead, as he only needed one card. Binger checked as soon as he saw that the Finish high stakes regular needed one card, and he called the 4,000 bet that was put out.

On the final draw both players took one card, and Binger lead out for 4,000. Antonius looked at his cards and made the call after which Binger announced his.

"Nine," Binger said as he turned over his {9-}{8-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Antonius mucked his cards and Binger took down this nice pot.
