We stopped by the table of Phil Hellmuth and Jason Mercier to see how the action was going.
Hand #1: There was a raise to 1,600 from under the gun and Hellmuth called from the small blind along with the big blind. The flop came and Hellmuth led out for 1,500. The big blind called while the preflop raiser folded.
The turn brought the and both players checked to the river where both players checked again. Hellmuth showed for a missed straight draw and his opponent tabled for a smaller missed straight draw.
Hand #2: The action folded to Hellmuth on the button who raised it up to 2,000. The big blind three-bet shoved all in for 12,200 and Hellmuth folded.
Hand #3: Hellmuth opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and was called by Jason Mercier in the big blind. The flop came and Mercier check-called a bet of 2,000 from Hellmuth.
The turn brought the and Mercier checked again. Hellmuth tossed in a bet of 3,100 and Mercier check-raised to 8,700. Hellmuth counted out a re-raise but just elected to call.
The river was the and Mercier barrelled for around 12,000. Hellmuth instantly called and Mercier showed . Hellmuth was in disbelief as he flipped over to chop the pot on the river.
"This is unbelievable," Hellmuth grumbled. "If I reraise you on the turn, there's no way you can get away from your hand."
"Times are tough," Mercier responded.
