Hellmuth Loses Chip Lead, Takes it Back

Hellmuth lost the chip lead back to Minh Ly at the beginning of Level 26 and then continued to give even more away. Hellmuth lost a 2 million chip pot to Brian Rast that didn’t make it to a showdown about a half-hour in, and that hand knocked Hellmuth down to third in chips behind both Minh Ly and Brian Rast.

Hellmuth answered back however and managed to take a pot off of Brian Rast worth over 3 million with a pair of sixes, once again taking the chip lead with just under 7 million.

Rast Doubles Through Ly, Takes Chip Lead

Brian Rast who had since been knocked down to third in chips with about 4.2 million found a well-timed double up through Minh Ly that put Rast on top with 8.6 million and knocked Ly down to the short stack with 1.9 million in chips.

Minh Ly opened the pot for a raise to 200,000 from under the gun, Brian Rast reraised to 500,000 from the button and Ly called.

The flop came 7 6 2, Ly bet 1,000,000, Rast moved all in for about 3,700,000 and Ly called.

Rast lead with 10 10 against Ly’s J 7.

The turn and river were the K and the 3, no help for Minh Ly as Brian Rast doubled up to take the chip lead with about 8.6 million.

Owais Ahmed Eliminated in 4th Place ($482,085)

Phil Hellmuth completed the small blind, Owais Ahmend moved all in from the big blind for about 1,750,000 and Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth Gives Back, Still Leads at Dinner

Hellmuth first lost about 700,000 chips to Minh Ly in a big pot that dropped Hellmuth down to about 9 million in chips and kicked Ly up to 6.1 million. Ly flopped top pair on an all spade board and although Hellmuth saved bets on the turn and the river, he mucked the A that hand after failing to hit his draw.

Despite shipping chips the other way, Hellmuth has continued to be quite active heading towards the dinner break. Rast won a three-way, million-chip pot with an
A – Q high as well a s a few smaller pots against Hellmuth this past hour, slowly closing the gap between the chip leader and the rest of the pack.

Although Hellmuth had nearly double second place an hour into this round with over 10 million chips, he aggressively managed to give back more than 3 million in the last forty minutes of the level. Hellmuth still holds a sizable chip lead heading into the dinner break four-handed with just under 7 million in chips.

Hellmuth picked up a lot of small pots this past level as well as a 1.2 million chip pot against Owais Ahmed with a big bet on the river that forced a fold. Hellmuth managed to collect another few million chips this past hour without having many forced showdowns, but occasionally offered his opponents a peek of his current run-good.

Hellmuth showed pocket jacks after three-bet, check-shoving from the small blind against Owais Ahmed’s big blind. That hand left Ahmed on the short stack and put Hellmuth close to 8 million in chips.

Hellmuth continued to dominate the table this past hour and managed to take a big chunk out Brian Rast’s stack about halfway through Level 25. In two consecutive hands, Hellmuth was able to take nearly 1.1 million from Rast, Putting himself over 10 million in chips and leaving Rast with about 2.7 million.

Owais Ahmed Wins Event #47 ($255,959)

Ahmed quickly chipped up to even after the break and eventually managed to steal a slight lead himself about halfway through Level 27 before Mizrachi reclaimed the lead after scooping a big pot with queens-up in the Stud 8 portion. The lead went back and forth pretty aggressively throughout the remainder of that level, but Mizrachi closed it out on top with more than 2 million to 1.3 million.

Ahmed won two key pots that saw a showdown in Level 28, first taking the chip lead with two pair (aces and kings) during the Stud 8 round and then crippling Mizrachi in Omaha 8 after scooping a big pot with trips. That hand left Mizarchi on the short stack with just 300,000 to Ahmed’s 3,075,000.

On the final hand of the tournament, Mizrachi button-raised before the flop and Ahmed called from the big blind.

The flop came A J 4, Ahmed checked, Mizrachi bet, Ahmed check-raised and Mizrachi called.

The turn was the 10 and Mizrachi got it all in.

Mizrachi: A Q 10 3
Ahmed: Q 10 5 3

Mizrachi was ahead with two pair (aces and tens) while Ahmed had a live flush draw and an inside straight draw.

The river was the 6, giving Ahmed a flush to win the pot. Michael Mizrachi was eliminated in 2nd place ($158,148) while Owais Ahmed wins the gold bracelet for
