Bach Getting Short

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Last year David Bach navigated a field of 301 players to finish runner-up in this tournament, which means the only way he can top that performance is by winning this event. That's going to be tough though as he is currently the short stack.

In a recent hand, Bach brought it in with a {7-} and then called when Hellmuth completed with an {A-}. Hellmuth then checked after receiving a {7-} on fourth but raised when Bach, who had received a {4-}, bet. Bach made the call and then bet fifth street. Hellmuth just called and then bet on sixth when he retook the lead. Bach called that bet and one on seventh.

Bach: (x-x) / {7-}{4-}{10-}{k-} / {x-}
Hellmuth: {8-}{6-} / {a-}{7-}{k-}{3-} / {x-}

Hellmuth held an 8-7-6-3-A low and it was good.

Brock Parker Eliminated in 5th Place ($25,717)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Brock Parker - 5th Place
Brock Parker - 5th Place

Two back-to-back hands have spelled the end for Brock Parker.

In the first, Phil Hellmuth completed with a {7-} and Parker raised with a {3-}. Hellmuth called and then bet the next three streets. Parker called all three and then checked after Hellmuth had checked seventh street in the dark.

Hellmuth: (x-x) / {7-}{3-}{6-}{8-} / {x-}
Parker: (x-x) / {3-}{k-}{4-}{k-} / {x-}

Hellmuth ended up making an 8-7-6-3-2 low, and it was good as Parker mucked and dropped to just 50,000.

In the next hand, Parker brought it in with a {10-} and Ted Forrest called with a {4-}. David Bach called with a {10-} of his own and it was three-way action to fourth street. Forrest bet, Bach called, and Parker raised. Forrest called, Bach ended up folding, and it was heads-up action to fifth street. Forrest bet, Parker raised all in for 24,000, and Forrest called.

Forrest: {9-}{7-} / {4-}{8-}{5-}{2-} / {J-}
Bach: (x-x) / {10-}{6-} fold
Parker: {a-}{6-} / {10-}{7-}{q-}{2-} / {K-}

Forrest made an 8-7-5-4-2 low, which was good enough to beat Parker's 10-7-6-2-A low.

Pappas vs. Forrest

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

After Phil Hellmuth brought it in with a {Q-}, Ted Forrest called with an {A-} up and Greg Pappas came along with a {3-}. Pappas then bet when he received a {2-} on fourth, Forrest called with his paired ace, and Hellmuth, who had gotten a {3-} folded. Pappas proceeded to bet every street and Forrest called him down.

Hellmuth: (x-x) / {q-}{3-} fold
Forrest: (x-x) / {a-}{a-}{10-}{5-} / {x-}
Pappas: {3-}{2-}{10-}{6-} / {7-}{8-}{7-}

Pappas ended with an 8-7-6-3-2 low, and it was good as Forrest sent his cards to the muck.

Brandon Cantu Eliminated in 6th Place ($19,183)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Brandon Cantu - 6th Place
Brandon Cantu - 6th Place

Greg Pappas completed with a {3-} and received a call from Phil Hellmuth, who was showing a {9-}. Brandon Cantu came along with a {6-}, and then all three players saw fourth. Pappas bet, Hellmuth called, and Cantu raised. Pappas three-bet, Hellmuth folded, and Cantu got the rest of his chips in.

Pappas: {2-}{6-} / {3-}{10-}{3-}{2-} / {Q-}
Cantu: {7-}{8-} / {6-}{k-}{2-}{7-} / {K-}
Hellmuth: (x-x) / {9-}{q-} fold

Pappas ended up making a Q-10-6-3-2 low, which meant all Cantu needed was a card lower than a king that didn't pair the board. He squeezed out his card and initially stated that it wasn't paint, but as he peeled back a little more he discovered it was. Only a king would send him out the door, and as he peeled back to full exposure he saw the {K-Hearts} monarch staring back at him.

Cantu, who placed third in the razz event two years ago when Hellmuth won, slapped the card on the table, shook his head, and then took his leave in sixth place for $19,183.

Yuebin Guo Eliminated in 7th Place ($14,517)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Yuebin Guo - 7th Place
Yuebin Guo - 7th Place

Yuebin Guo was extremely short stacked coming back from the break, and he wasted little time in getting it in. He did so by completing with an {A-}, which Brock Parker called with a {4-}, and then got the remainder in on fourth street.

After both boards were run out, Guo ended up making a Q-J-6-2-A low, but that was no good as Parker made a 10-8-4-3-2 low. Guo will take home $14,517 for his seventh-place finish.

Big Pot for Hellmuth Just Before the Break

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth completed with a {2-} and Brandon Cantu called with an {A-}. Yuebin Guo, who had the bring in with a {Q-}, called and it was off to fourth street. Cantu took the lead and put out a bet, which both Hellmuth and Guo called.

When Hellmuth took the lead on fifth, he bet and only Guo would call. Guo then called a bet on sixth before tank-calling one on seventh.

Hellmuth: {2-}{10-}{5-}{6-} / {7-}{4-}{9-}
Cantu: (x-x) / {a-}{6-}{J-} fold
Guo: {q-}{a-}{10-}{7-} / {8-}{3-}{2-}

Guo had made an 8-7-3-2-A low, but it was Hellmuth who won the pot with a 7-6-5-4-2 low.
