"They will not let me win a pot!" Phil Hellmuth blurted out after he brought in and James Obst raised. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, they will not let me win a pot!"
"I guess it'll have to be a big one," he added, before taking time to pause. "I love this game, boys."
Just as Hellmuth said that, one of the servers game by and asked Hellmuth if he was done eating. It looked like he had a half-eaten burrito on the tray behind him, and Hellmuth quickly turned around to make sure it wasn't taken. "No, no, no," he said. "I'll tell you when," he added with a smile.
Hellmuth then returned to play the next hand, on which he had the showing. "This one I should win," he commented.

Obst: /
On third street, Obst completed the bet, and Hellmuth raised, which is when he commented that he should win this hand. Action folded back to Obst, and he called.
"He doesn't want to fold the dead nines," Hellmuth said. "He wants to gamble."
Obst led with a bet on fourth street, Hellmuth called, and then Obst led again on fifth. Hellmuth began to tank, then folded.
"Nice hand," he said to Obst. "I'm easy right now, kid."
Matt Grapenthien just scooped a big pot with quads. His quad nines beat James Obst in a big pot and he was able to move up to 740,000 in chips. Obst slipped back to 400,000.
Grapenthien completed, Obst called, and the former led out on fourth street. Grapenthien led out again on fifth, and Obst meant to raise but he made a forward motion with only calling chips. He then tried to go back to his stack and put out a raise, but the floor ruled it a call.

Todd Brunson: / /
Hecklen was all in on third street for 8,000. Hellmuth called, Grapenthien completed to 15,000, Brunson raised, and then Hellmuth folded. On fourth street, Brunson bet, and Grapenthien folded.
This left Brunson and his pair of tens up against the at-risk Hecklen, who had just ace high at the time. Although Hecklen paired up with sevens on sixth street, he was unable to find anything to help him beat Brunson's pair of tens on seventh, and he was eliminated in seventh place for just over $38,000.
