Happy_Freaked

"You better have what you should have," Hellmuth muttered before throwing his hand into the muck.

Hellmuth's opponent showed , much to the champ's liking, and raked in this pot.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Just before the dinner break, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott was crippled after being on the bad end of an aces-versus-kings cooler, and now his Main Event has come to an end courtesy of WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Idema.

We missed the hand as it happened, but we learned after the fact that Ulliott had gotten his remaining chips in on the turn holding top pair, but he was drawing dead as Idema, who was receiving a massage, had a flush.

The meaningless river was put out to make it official, and then the Devilfish took the long walk out of the Brasilia Room as his 2014 WSOP came to an end.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

If you've been around the poker world at all the last few years you've no doubt come across the brand Run Good Gear. The poker clothing company, which has a stable of pros, is the brainchild of president Tana Karnchanakphan, who was playing in his first WSOP Main Event today.

Unfortunately for Karnchanakphan, his day came to an early end. According to his farewell tweet, Karnchanakphan fell holding on a board. His opponent held , and that was all she wrote for Karnchanakphan, who will no doubt go back to cheering on his Run Good Gear comrades.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matthew Lapossie at the Little One for One Drop final table

With slightly more than 15,000 in the pot, Matthew Lapossie was facing an 11,000 bet from his lone opponent on a board of . That bet was just a little less than what Lapossie had sitting in front of him.

"That was some river," said Lapossie. His opponent smiled, like the cat that ate the canary.

That was enough to convince Lapossie to make the call. "Good call," said his opponent, tabling for a busted flush draw. Lapossie turned over for a pair of jacks to win the pot. Lapossie is coming off of a seventh place finish in the Little One for One Drop where he took home $89,020 and back in February won the 2014 Fallsview Poker Classic for $326,235. It's been a good year for the Canadian but it can get even better with a deep run in the biggest tournament of the year.
