Big Hands:
 Chau Giang Disappears Courtesy Of The Magician
Picking up the action after the turn, the board read K Q 9 3 and Chau Giang bet 7,000.
Antonio Esfandiari raised the action to 15,000 and Giang moved all in. Esfandiari made the call and the players turned over their cards:
Giang: J10
Esfandiari: KQ
Giang flopped a straight but his flush draw was dead to Esfandiari’s better draw that went along with his two pair. The river then brought the K , giving Esfandiari a full house and Giang was sent packing.
Farha Getting Up There
The player on the button raised to 1,625 and Sam Farha made the call from the big blind. The flop came down KJ4 and both players checked.
The turn was the 5 and Farha fired 2,000. His opponent made the call and the river was the 4.
Farha kept his foot on the gas pedal, firing another 7,000 into the pot. The button mucked and Farha took the pot. He was at 70,000.
 Yang Gets Hammered Down To Size, Then Eliminated
The player in seat 2 and Jerry Yang tangled preflop that resulted in seat 2 moving all in for 27,800. Yang made the call and here were their cards:
Yang: KK
Seat 2: AA
Yang fell victim to a cold deck and the board offered him no help as it ran out 7547J.
Yang took a big hit and was down to 8,000 in chips.
Yang was eventually cut down to 3,200 in chips and shipped them all in preflop against the player in seat 9.
Yang: Q10
Seat 9: A6
The flop was favorable to Yang as it came Q97, giving him top pair.
“It’s not over yet,” Yang said before the turn.
If it wasn’t over then, it was sure close to being over when the A fell on the turn. The river then brought the 7 and Yang was eliminated.
McEvoy’s Aces Cracked
Picking up the action on a flop of 952, Tom McEvoy moved all in against his opponent.
The player called and ended up putting himself at risk as McEvoy had him covered. McEvoy held pocket aces but they were officially cracked when his opponent turned 52.
The board finished out 10 and 4 and McEvoy dropped to 20,000 in chips.
 Elezra Gets One
A player raised to 850 preflop and another player made the call. Eli Elezra was in the big blind and came along as well to see a flop of K52. Elezra checked and the raiser bet 1,375. Elezra was the only caller and the A came on the turn.
Elezra checked and his opponent bet 2,200. Elezra made the call againa and the river was the 8.
Elezra decided to take the lead, firing 4,000. His opponent gave it up and Elezra took the pot, improving his stack to 32,000.
Gored
Picking up the action on a flop of 765, Carlos Mortensen fired 1,400. Dan Smith made the call and the other two players in the hand mucked.
The turn was the J and Mortensen bet 3,000. Smith made the call and the 9 came on the river.
Both players checked and Mortensen tabled KK and Smith mucked. Mortensen took the pot and he was at 25,000.
 Don’t Stand On The Tracks When The Orient Express Is Coming Through
Picking up the action after the board had run out 732€96, Johnny Chan and his opponent got involved in a betting war.
Eventually, the opponent tabled 77 for middle set. Unfortunately for him, Chan tabled K8 for a rivered flush.
Chan raked in the pot and was up to 165,000. That was good for the overall chip lead on Day 1C.
Outrunning Outhred
After the board had run out K72910, there was 27,000 in the pot. A player bet 20,000 and Alex Outhred made the call.
Outhred tabled pocket queens but they were no good as his opponent showed 1010 for a set on the river.
Outhred threw his queens in the muck and he was down to 53,000.
 Dwan Tripped Up
Picking up the action after the flop came down 10103, Tom Dwan led out for 1,425. Lee Markholt made the call and the turn was the 6.
Dwan led again with 3,450 and Markholt made the call for the rest of his chips.
Markholt: A10
Dwan: 77
Markholt flopped trips and the river brought no help to Dwan as he dropped to just over 13,000. Markholt doubled to 12,000.
Left In The Deck:
 It’s Not Easy Being Phil
Midway through the level, the tournament staff announced through the speakers that “1989 World Chammpion Phil Hellmuth has just been eliminated.”
The Amazon Room erupted in cheers and applause after hearing the announcement, not quite the reaction anyone would care for.
Hellmuth had been playing on the secondary feature table and made his grand entrance with UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva. He was officially TKO’d.

 Big Hands:
Vos Busts On Final Hand of Day 5 - 80th Place ($77,200)
After Dennis Phillips raised to 65,000, Mark Vos reraised to 180,000. Phillips repopped it to 400,000 and Vos moved all in for 1,500,000. Phillips made the easy call and showed AA. Vos held AK and was in horrible shape. The board ran Q93102 and just like that Vos, who had an above-average chip stack before the hand, was eliminated on the final hand of the night.
Matros Fills Up, Busts Silber in 86th Place ($64,333)
Reagan Silber fired out a bet of 100,000 on a flop of Q76 and Matt Matros raised, making it 300,000 to go. Silber moved all in and Matros wasted little time calling. Matros held 76 for two pair on the flop, but Silber was drawing at the nut flush with A9. The turn was the 6, giving Matros a full house and ending the drama they would have otherwise had to endure. The 5 hit on the river and Matros eliminated Silber and reached the 2 million mark.
The Reigning Aussie Millions Champ Is Gone in 84th Place ($64,333)
Alexaner Kostritsyn raised to 65,000 and was called by Garrett Beckman from the button. Kostritsyn checked the flop of 1064 and Beckman fired 90,000. Kostritsyn check-raised all in for 395,000 and Beckman took several minutes to think over his decision. He eventually called and showed 77, which he quickly saw was ahead of Kostritsyn's AK. The 2 and J completed the board and Kostritsyn was eliminated.
 Hellmuth Gets Keayed
Aaron Keay raised to 80,000 before the flop. From the small blind, Hellmuth raised to 220,000, and Keay made the call. The flop came AJ5, and Hellmuth fired out for another 140,000. It didn't take long for Keay to move all in, and it took even less time for Hellmuth to fold his hand. Phil's stack went down to around 900,000 after the hand. He recovered slightly the next hand, raising to 65,000 preflop to take down the blinds and antes.
A Brick Saves Joseph Money
On a board of 1043, Jeremy Joseph fired 100,000 into a pot of about 200,000. The player on the button mucked, but Suresh Prabhu made the call from the big blind. The turn was the 8 and both players checked. The Q fell on the river and Prabhu led out for 200,000. Joseph looked off in the distance, clearly frustrated. "That is a brick," Joseph said about the final card. He then threw his hand in the muck. Prabhu showed 44 for a flopped set of sailboats and a rivered full house. Joseph smiled as he was around 1.6 million after the hand.
Staying Alive
Alex Outhred got all in preflop against Michael Carroll and the players showed their hands. Carroll showed 99, but Outhred had two overs with QJ. The flop hit Outhred hard, running AQ10 to give him middle pair and the better flush draw of the two. The 4 turn and 8 kept clear of Carroll's hand and Outhred doubled to around 675,000.
 Chinotown
Sean Davis raised to 75,000 before the flop, and was called by two players, Cristian Dragomir and David "Chino" Rheem. The flop ran out 1052. All three players checked to the turn, which brought the 3. Dragomir fired out a bet, pushing Davis out of the hand. Rheem made the call, and Dragomir checked the river, the 5. Rheem bet out 240,000, and Dragomir made the call, but threw his cards into the muck after Rheem turned over the KQ for the rivered flush.
Nobody Wants to Play with Mikey
For a guy who just shoved with suited 10-5, Mike Matusow has been having a hard time getting any action at the ESPN feature table. Here's a look at a day of poker with the Mouth:
Owen Crowe raised to 66,000 from the cutoff. From the button, Mike Matusow then reraised to 201,000 total. Everyone folded, and Matusow flipped over pocket kings.
Later in the round, Matusow raised to 82,000 preflop. Everyone folded again, and Matusow flipped over pocket jacks.
Later in the round, Matusow raised from the button to 77,000. The players in the blinds, including Phil Hellmuth, folded once again. This time Matusow flipped over A-K. He was unable to find any more action this evening, ending the day with around 1.2 million.
Phe Phi Pho Phum
Cristian Dragomir raised preflop to 82,000, and only Phi Nguyen made the call. The flop came QJ3, and both players checked to the turn, which brought the 7. Nguyen led out for 110,000. Dragomir then raised to 300,000, only to have Nguyen move all in. Dragomir tanked for some time before making the laydown.

56th place - Eric Bamer - $115,800
Big Hands and Storylines:
Alfredo Fernandez Eliminated by Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow made the standard table raise to 110,000 from second position. Alfredo Fernandez, on Matusow’s left, wasted no time before moving all-in for 600,000. Action folded back around to Matusow who made a pretty swift call with AQ. His call was dead-on; Fernandez turned up J10. The board rolled out K664A and Fernandez was eliminated. The nice addition to his stack brings Matusow up to 3.3 million.
A Moment With Matusow
After the aforementioned hand, Matusow let the table know how good he was playing, and how luck was on his side. Some snippets from his peroration:
“...I just know it...”
“...I can feel it...”
“...the neutrons and the electrons...”
“...the power of positive thinking, you can’t beat it!”
Up-and-down hour for Michelle
Early in the level Tiffany Michelle raised and then called a reraise by Ivan Demidov on the button. After a flop of A43 both players checked. The turn was the 4 and Michelle bet 500,000. Demidov called and the river was the 7. Michelle bet 800,000 and after a couple minutes Demidov raised to 2.2 million. It was now her turn to tank, and after two minutes she folded. Demidov now has 6.5 million chips, while Michelle has 3.15.
Later in the level Michelle limped in from under the gun and was one of three players to see the flop come 977 and Michelle called a bet of 75,000 by Chrstian Dragomir. The turn was the 4 and Dragomir bet 100,000. Tiffany raised to 200,000 and then Dragomir reraised to 400,000. Tiffany then moved all in, forcing Dragomir to fold. Michelle is now up to about four million, while Dragomir has over two million.
Pham-boozled
More from Tiffany Michelle...
Tiffany Michelle raised to 120,000 from under the gun. Kido Pham, to her left, made it 300,000, and Michelle made the call. The flop was 1032 and Michelle led out for a hefty 750,000. Pham considered his options for a moment, but decided to fold. The pot brings Michelle up to 4 million and drops Pham down to under 2 million.
Gould Leaves with the Ladies
Joe Bishop raised to 125,000 preflop, and was only to happy to step out of the way. Alan Gould in the next seat reraised him to 400,000, and then halfway down the table Albert Kim announced another raise, this to 1.1 million. Bishop folded, and Gould then announced all-in for his remaining 1.6 million in chips. Kim instantly called and showed AA, while Gould was drawing slim with QQ. The flop came 863 to give Gould a chance at a running flush, though that disappeared with the 6 on the river. Needing to catch a queen on the end, Kim took down the pot and eliminated his opponent when the 10 completed the board. Kim improved to 7.8 million in chips with the hand.
Yet Kim donated much of that recent gain back just a few hands later. He raised to 105,000 preflop, then was reraised to 425,000 by Bishop. Kim called, and the flop came 1064. Bishop stepped out for 550,000, and Kim made the call. The K was the turn card, and Bishop then announced all-in. Kim was visibly frustrated, noting he had just got the chips and didn’t want to spill them back. He eventually mucked, stating he had queens, then pleaded for Bishop to “show the bluff”. Bishop hesitated, briefly flashing his cards before mucking. The table then insisted the dealer show the cards, and they were proven to be the A10.
Outhred Outted
Alex Outhred had been able to survive with his shortstack thanks to timely all-in shoves that discouraged any callers. But he finally ran out of steam when in the small blind, he woke with AK. Chris Klodnicki had raised from the button to 110,000 and Outhred then went all-in for 495,000. Klodnicki called and showed 99. The doorcard to the flop was the K to give Outhred short-lived life, as behind it lay the 9 to give Klodnicki the set. The 3 and 8 completed the board and Outhred was ousted in 54th place.

Kim was visibly frustrated, noting he had just got the chips and didn’t want to spill them back. He eventually mucked, stating he had queens, then pleaded for Bishop to “show the bluff”. Bishop hesitated, briefly flashing his cards before mucking. The table then insisted the dealer show the cards, and they were proven to be the A10.
Outhred Outted
Alex Outhred had been able to survive with his shortstack thanks to timely all-in shoves that discouraged any callers. But he finally ran out of steam when in the small blind, he woke with AK. Chris Klodnicki had raised from the button to 110,000 and Outhred then went all-in for 495,000. Klodnicki called and showed 99. The doorcard to the flop was the K to give Outhred short-lived life, as behind it lay the 9 to give Klodnicki the set. The 3 and 8 completed the board and Outhred was ousted in 54th place.
