Hellmuth Makes a Straight Flush

Livello 7

Ante: 100
Bring-In: 200
Completion: 800
Limits: 800-1,600

Action was picked up on fifth street in a hand between Phil Hellmuth and two opponents.

Phil Hellmuth: Q♦4♦ / 9♦10♦J♦9♥ / 8♦
Opponent 1: A♦6♠ / 5♣7♣4♥5♥ / 10♣
Opponent 2: XxXx / 4♠3♠A♠K♠ / Xx

One bet went in from each player on fifth street. On sixth, Hellmuth raised a bet from the second opponent and both players called.

On seventh, Hellmuth led and both players called.

Hellmuth revealed his straight flush as his perplexed opponent mucked what was presumably the the nut-flush. The first opponent made a seven-six low which was good for half.

Livello 6

Ante: 100
Bring-In: 200
Completion: 800
Limits: 800-1,600

Action was picked up on fourth street in a four-way hand between Dekel Balas, Jeremy Brousseau, and two opponents.

Dekel Balas: A♥K♦Q♣ / K♥9♥Q♥8♥
Jeremy Brousseau: A♣5♠5♣ / 7♣J♣8♣6♠
Opponent 1: XxXxXx / 3♥4♠4♦10♦
Opponent 2: XxXxXx / K♠10♠ - folded on fourth street

Balas led on fourth and was called in two spots.

After their opponent paired his four on fifth street, he led and both Balas and Brousseau called.

On sixth, their opponent bet all-in, Brousseau called, Balas raised, and Brousseau called.

Brousseau check-called a final bet on seventh. Balas revealed his ace-high flush for the high which was better than Brousseau's flush. Brousseau held an eight-seven low which was the only low as their opponent had bricked his low draw on seventh.

Livello 6

Ante: 100
Bring-In: 200
Completion: 800
Limits: 800-1,600

Action was picked up on fifth street in a hand between Andrew Black and two opponents, only one of whom continued to sixth.

Andrew Black: 9♥6♦4♦ / A♦7♦5♣8♠
Opponent: Q♣5♠3♦ / 4♣6♠3♥7♠

Black led with a bet on fifth which one opponent called while the other folded.

A raising war broke out on sixth street and after some confusion, each player had 8,000 in front of them after it was capped.

Black led again on seventh and was quickly called. Black's 7-6-5-4-A pipped his opponent's 7-6-5-4-3 for the low while Black held a dominating eight-high straight against his opponent's seven-high straight and Black dragged one of the largest pots of the day.
