Lo Picks Off a Bluff

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded around to Justin Saliba in the small blind who raised to 700,000. Jeffrey Lo called in the big blind and they saw a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Saliba continued for 400,000 and Lo called before both players checked the {q-Spades} turn. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Saliba bet another 600,000.

Lo went into the tank and took a drink from his water bottle before sticking in the chips to call. Saliba showed {7-}{6-} for a bluff as Lo took the pot with {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines.

Hellmuth Forces Out Jackson

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

David Jackson raised to 400,000 and received calls from Phil Hellmuth in the cutoff and Justin Saliba in the big blind.

The three players saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} as Saliba and Jackson checked. Hellmuth bet 200,000 and only Jackson called to the {j-Clubs} turn.

Jackson checked again, and this time Hellmuth put out 400,000. Jackson quickly folded as the 16-time bracelet winner dragged in the pot.

"I'll take it," Hellmuth said as a cry of "Go Phil" rang out from the rail.

Sullivan and Jackson Chop It Up

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Timothy Sullivan opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and was called by David Jackson on the button.

The hand checked all the way down to the river for the board to read {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The duo checked back on the river and they chopped up the pot with their respective ace-queens.

BREAKING: Phil Hellmuth at 2022 WSOP $3,000 NLH Final Table, Chasing 17th Bracelet

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth has set out to win 24 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets in his lifetime. On Saturday night, he has an opportunity to get one step closer to that lofty but realistic goal.

The "Poker Brat" is one of eight players remaining in Event #65: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em at the time of publishing.

Hellmuth currently has 16 bracelets, a record by a wide margin. Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, and Phil Ivey are tied for second place with 10. Should he come out victorious on Saturday night, he'll make it difficult for anyone to catch up over the next decade, and possibly beyond.

The $3,000 NLH Freezeout attracted 1,359 entries and will play down to a winner tonight. That individual will not only take home a shiny gold bracelet, but also $598,173. For the Poker Hall of Famer, it would take him above the $28.5 million mark, according to Hendon Mob.

Bruschi Holds On to Double

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded to David Jackson in the small blind who raised enough to put Renan Bruschi all in from the big blind. Bruschi snap-called for his last 1,700,000.

Renan Bruschi: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
David Jackson: {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop didn't help Jackson, and neither did the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. The river came the {q-Hearts} and Bruschi won the pot with his king-kicker to double up and put a small dent in Jackson's chip lead.

Jackson Keeps the Pressure on Sullivan

Level 29 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

David Jackson put his massive stack to good use in his last hand against Timothy Sullivan.

Sullivan opened to 300,000 in the cutoff before Jackson three-bet to 975,000 on the button. Phil Hellmuth leaned across the table to get a look at Jackson before folding from the blinds, while Sullivan called.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Sullivan checked. Jackson continued with a bet of 600,000 and Sullivan called to see the {8-Hearts} fall on the turn.

Sullivan once again checked over to Jackson, who this time came out with a bet of 850,000. Sullivan thought about the decision for a moment before folding.

Anton Wigg Eliminated in 9th Place ($48,494)

David Jackson opened to 300,000 from middle position before Anton Wigg three-bet to 825,000 from the cutoff. Justin Saliba reraised to 1,800,000 from the big blind.

Jackson moved out of the way and Wigg jammed in his stack and was called.

Anton Wigg: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Justin Saliba: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

It was a classic race and one that Saliba would win as the board ran out with the {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The dealer counted out the stacks as it was close but it was confirmed that Wigg was the shorter stack.

David Jackson raised to 300,000 from middle position before Keiji Ito moved all in for 1,425,000 next to act. Anton Wigg called on the button, as did Jackson.

Wigg and Jackson checked to the river on a board of {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts} before Jackson put out a bet on the {7-Spades} river. Wigg quickly folded and Jackson opened up {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for the rivered set.

Ito flashed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for ace-high before making his exit in 10th place.
