"Hennigan!" yelled out Jesse Martin from the table over to John Hennigan who was on the rail abut 25 feet away. Hennigan didn't hear him, though, so Martin tried again. "John!"
"What?" responded Hennigan with a turn of his head.
"Eat your heart out!" yelled Martin with a big smile on his face, pointing out that he was still alive in the event.
"He won the $50K," Phil Hellmuth tried to point out to Martin.
"It's a f***ing joke, Phil," said Martin with some laughter.
"If there was any justice in poker, I would be here as well," said Hennigan as he came closer to the rail.
"You're a pretty good H.O.R.S.E. player, but you gotta work on this game some more," commented Todd Brunson to Hennigan.
Phil Hellmuth: / /
Steve Landfish: / /
James Obst: / — fold
Landfish was the bring-in with his deuce showing, and then Obst completed the bet. Hellmuth called, and then Landfish gave it some thought before calling after action folded back to him.
On fourth street, things started to get interesting as Hellmuth led with a bet and Landfish raised. Obst folded, then Hellmuth called.
On fifth street, Hellmuth check-called a bet from Landfish, and then Landfish paired up with threes on sixth. He bet and Hellmuth called, but not without comment.
"I almost raised you the street before, now I can barely call you," said Hellmuth as he tossed in the calling chips. "Such a brutal game."
After seventh street was dealt, Landfish bet.
"I guess I gotta pray you have queens," said Hellmuth. "OK, you've got it, just two tens," he continued, showing the from his hand and folding.
"You're an interesting player," Hellmuth told Landfish after the hand. "You play good, but when the pots get bigger, I'm going to get you."
Shortly after doubling back up to give himself another chance we just lost Richard Ashby. Ashby brought it in on third and the action folded to Henry Orenstein who made the call.
On fourth street Orenstein's board was high and he bet, Ashby called. On fifth street Orenstein bet again and Ashby moved all in for an additional 4,000 chips. Orenstein called.
"What do you got?" Orenstein asked Ashby.
"Nothing," Ashby sighed.
"He's got a straight draw, Henry," Jesse Martin helped out.
Orenstein: / /
Ashby: / /
"He's got a full house," a players said when sixth street was dealt and Orenstein locked up the hand. Ashby was knocked out and there will now be a redraw for the final table.
Karl Tretter completed and James Obst raised. Tretter moved all in and Obst called to create an all-in showdown.
Tretter: / /
Obst: / /
Tretter was knocked out by Obst's pair of tens and we're now down to 10 players. When we lose one more the final nine will be redrawn for a final table.
Henrik Hecklen just doubled up against Karl Tretter to get back to 55,000 in chips. It wasn't easy, though, as no player had a pair until the river, and even then, Hecklen had to sweat it.
Hecklen had the best hand with ace-king high going to the river, but on seventh street, Tretter added a pair of fives. Hecklen was able to turn over a six and make a pair of sixes in order to stay alive.
