"That's the Wrong Call, Dawg"

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

On the {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Paul Pierce and Marcel Luske checked before the third player bet 2,000. Behind him, Paul Volpe called, and then the player who had the button tanked for a minute before making the call.

"That's the wrong call, dawg," said Pierce as he tossed in the 2,000 to make the call. "That's the wrong call. You gotta raise or fold unless you're calling a girl, dawg."

Luske then folded, and the dealer put out the {7-Spades} on the turn. Pierce checked, and the flop bettor fired again, this time for 4,000. Volpe, the button, and Pierce all folded.

"I Had a Queen-High Flush"

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth late registered and waited a bit to make his entrance, but now that he's here and playing he is actually doing quite well despite the following hand.

Hellmuth limped from middle position and inspired Dario Alioto to do the same from the hijack. The cutoff, button and both blinds came along and six players saw the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Four checks saw the cutoff bet 1,800, the big blind called and Hellmuth did the same. The other players got out of the way and it was three-way action to the {9-Hearts} turn, which all three checked.

When the {6-Hearts} completed the board on the river, the big blind led out for 5,200 and Hellmuth thought for a bit before folding. After the cutoff did the same, the big blind showed the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

"I folded a queen-high flush," Hellmuth said proudly.

Ivey & Green Done and Dusted

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante
Phil Ivey

It's the tenth anniversary of the iconic and game-changing 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event, and it's only fitting that two players who made the top ten in that event squared off. We're talking about Phil Ivey and Sammy Farha, who bubbled the final table and finished runner-up that year respectively.

We didn't see the hand develop, but awhile back a big one went down between the two poker powerhouses. According to Tony Cousineau, Ivey flopped middle set while Farha had top and bottom pair. The chips went in and Ivey, who had Farha covered, was primed to win a big one. The turn was of no consequence, but the {K-} on the river was as it paired Farha and gave him the winning full house.

Ivey was left with a short stack after that hand, and while he nursed it for a bit, he was recently eliminated in unknown action.

Meanwhile, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Perry Green has been eliminated from the tournament.

Bleznick Up To 250K

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

Jared Bleznick has been absolutely crushing here on Day 1, and he's up to 250,000 in chips. He is by far and away the chip leader as we ride into the last couple hours of the night.

On this hand, Bleznick check-called a bet of 3,900 on the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts} board before checking in the dark before the river card. The river was the {8-Spades}, and Bleznick's opponent opted to check behind.

Bleznick said he had a queen and showed the {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. His opponent mucked, and Bleznick won the pot.
