The small blind showed K K and was in the lead against Grigorian’s A 4 .
The turn was the 4 , giving Grigorian a few more outs with a pair to go with his nut flush draw, but the river was the 7 and the big blind doubled up.

Big Hands:
"The Goofball Beat Me, Honey!"
Phil Hellmuth raised to 4,000 under the gun and the player in seat 5 made the call. The flop came Q 5 5 and Hellmuth checked, letting seat 5 bet 7,000. Hellmuth called and again checked when the 5 hit on the turn. Seat 5 bet 10,000 and Hellmuth removed his shades and studied the board and his opponent. After asking his opponent how much he had left, Hellmuth just called. The 10 fell on the river and seat 5 pushed all in for about 40,000. "Okay buddy, you win this one," Hellmuth said as he mucked his hand. "My turn next time, okay?"
But it wasn't okay with the layer in seat 5. Two hands later Hellmuth bet 7,500 on a flop of K 5 3 and only seat 5 made the call. The A hit on the turn and Hellmuth led out for 13,000. Seat 5 announced he was all in and Hellmuth was stunned. He mucked and jumped from his seat to talk to his wife.
"The goofball beat me, honey!" he said to her. "He might be the worst player here by far."
But Hellmuth's confidence was still not shaken as he said, "I want to tell you something. He's going to be drawing dead against me in the next 10 minutes."
Chan Doubles, Demands Micon Gets His Drink![Johnny Chan Johnny Chan](http://media.cardplayer.com/image/j/Johnny_Chan.jpg)
Johnny Chan raised to 4,600 from late position and was called by the big blind. The flop was J 8 2 and the big blind led out for 11,000. Chan reached to his stack and re-raised, making it 26,000 more to go. The big blind wasted little time pushing all in, having Chan covered by around 12,000. Chan made the call and was all in for his tournament life. The big blind flipped up J J for top set and was in the lead. But Chan showed J 9 and was far from drawing dead. The turn brought the 6 to complete Chan's flush and the A completed the board, making Chan's flush the best hand and giving him reason to pump his fist as he doubled up to 180,000.
The table is an interesting one - featuring Chan, Bryan Micon and Shawn Sheikhan. After doubling up and cripping his opponent, Chan yelled "Get this man a drink!" The playful demand was in reference to Micon, who has been nursing his short stack and calling for a cocktail waitress for a while.
Suck & Re-Suck: Chris Grigorian Doubles Through David Singer
On a flop of A 7 5 , David Singer bet 6,000 and Chris Grgorian made the call. The turn was the A , and this time Singer led out with 15,000. Grigorian made the call and the river was the Q . Singer bet 30,000 and Grigorian quickly moved all in. Singer called just as quick and turned over A 7 for a full house (aces full of sevens). Singer flopped top two pair and turned the full house. Grigorian showed A Q for a better full house (aces full of queens) on the river. Singer fell down to 42,000 in chips while "The Armenian Express" brought himself up over 100,000 this hand. Singer would bust later in the level.
Clements Tries to Defend, But Can't Connect
The player in seat 7 raised to 4,600 from the button and Scott Clements repopped to 10,200 from the small blind. Seat 7 made the call and the flop came down K J 6 and Clements blasted 20,000 into the pot. Seat 7 went nowhere, however, making the call. Both players checked the 2 on the turn and the river brought the 3 . Both players checked again and Clements announced, "Ace high." Seat 7 turned over Q J for second pair and took a good sized pot. Clements was down to about 72,000.
THAY3R Gets Love From The Ladies
Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen called a short stack's all in bet and flipped over Q Q . The all in player showed A J and had one over-card. The board ran 9 8 2 4 8 and Rasmussen knocked out another player while increasing his stack to around 110,000.
Don't Mess With Evelyn's Big Blind
The player in seat 8 raised to 3,300 from the button and Evelyn Ng repopped to 9,300 from the big blind. The button made the call and the flop came down K 2 6 and Ng fired 14,000. Seat 8 nodded his head, signaling it was too much to call and folded his hand. Ng took the pot and increased her stack to a very healthy 176,000.
Micon Pushes Back, Then Gets Pushed Out
Shawn Sheikhan raised to 4,500 and Johnny Chan folded his hand from the small blind. Micon was next to act in the big blind and, after pump faking a fold, decided to push all in for 17,400 more. Sheikhan decided to muck his hand and Micon added some chips to his short stack. He was at 23,100 while Sheikhan was at 131,500. Micon would not last, however, as he would go bust later in the level.
Matusow Takes a Pot
Mike Matusow raised to 3,800 from under the gun. The player in seat 2 called from the button and the two players were heads up going to the flop. "It's just me and the other human card rack," Matusow said before the flop of J 9 3 hit the felt. Matusow then led out with 6,400 and seat 2 quickly mucked. Matusow then showed his Q Q and raked in the pot. He was around 70,000.

Grigorian survives back-to-back all ins
Chris Grigorian has been all in on two consecutive hands and survived. The first time he was all in preflop, and with the board 5 7 8 5 5 , Grigorian managed to win the high pot against two others with the rather meager holding A K 7 3 . The second time he got his last 425 chips in on the turn and chopped a pot with A-J on a T 5 Q 4 K board. His opponent in that hand also had A-J. After the hand Grigorian still had only 2,000 and is in danger any time he is in a pot.
Lederer vs Lisandro ends in draw
After both players checked on the turn, Howard Lederer bet out on the river and Jeffrey Lisandro quickly called. With the board showing 3 8 J T 6 , Lederer showed Q-9 for a straight, while Lisandro held A-5 for the winning low hand. After the hand Lederer was at 9,000 chips, while Lisandro was closer to 8,000 chips.
Matusow surviving but still in trouble
On fifth street in stud 8, Mike Matusow caught the A to go with A 6 already showing and bet out. Mike Wattel and Paul Darden quickly folded wit 7 3 3 and 3 K 8 showing, respectively. After the hand Matusow had just over 3,000 chips.
