Level 7 Update: Hellmuth Shows Up LateJul 11, '11 Note: Levels are two hours in length. There will be a 90-minute dinner break after level 8. Players Remaining: About 4,000 of 6,865 Blinds: 300-600 with a 75 ante Chip Leaders: 1.

He was under the impression that he played on Tuesday, but the reality is that he was supposed to start today. Hellmuth had 11,800 to start the day, but after missing the first hour and a half, he had been blinded down to just over 7,000, good for a little over ten big blinds. Luckily for Hellmuth, Mike Matusow was able to convince his hotel’s security to look past a “Do Not Disturb” sign and alert Hellmuth to his mistake. Ladies Champion Eliminated Roger Jensen raised to 1,800 and Marsha Wolak, who won the $1,000 Ladies Event this summer, called from the big blind. The flop fell K Jensen immediately called with K  Sam Farha After winning a bracelet in 2010, Sam Farha was hoping for another solid summer at the WSOP. He’ll have to wait for next year, however, after he recently busted from the main event. Farha was all in on a 9 The turn and river came A Eric Baldwin Busts On a flop of A The other player folded and Baldwin called. The turn was the 6 Paul Pierce Bounces Back Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce has been trending backwards all day long, but a recent hand has him back near the six-figure mark. On a flop of J The turn and river were bricks and Pierce scored the knockout to move up to 90,000 in chips. Poker Tweets:
