Slow Play Backfires on Hellmuth

Level 16 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

The under-the-gun player raised and was called by John "DSauce" Sweeney from the hijack, along with Phil "lumestackin" Hellmuth from the big blind.

The {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop was checked around and the {5-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Action was checked to Sweeny who fired out 4,031 and Hellmuth raised all in for 9,085. Only Sweeny called and the two hands were revealed.

John "DSauce" Sweeney: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Phil "lumestackin" Hellmuth: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Hellmuth flopped top-pair but was drawing dead after Sweeney turned a set of fives and the {10-Diamonds} river ended his tournament.

Level 16 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

Adam "shakusky" Richardson raised all in for 16,275 from the hijack, John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza called from the cutoff and then called once again after Shannon "Aulophobia" Shorr

Shannon "Aulophobia" Shorr: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Adam "shakusky" Richardson: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Richardson was ahead with his made hand and nothing changed after the {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop appeared.

The {4-Hearts} turn however, did give him a sweat but the {j-Diamonds} river secured him the pot while Shorr was out-kicked by Florenza and eliminated from the tournament.

Naichang "cncly1314" Chen open-jammed from middle position for 12,456 and Shannon "Aulophobia" Shorr isolated from the small blind.

Naichang "cncly1314" Chen: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Shannon "Aulophobia" Shorr: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
