Alexander Lakhov began by raising to 10,000 blind v blind and James Worth called.
It came down 
on the flop and Lakhov continued for 8,000. Worth peeled and 
was dealt on the turn, Lakhov slowed down, checking to Worth who made it 16,000 to proceed. Lakhov wasn't finished yet though, upping it to 40,000 and it was enough to convince Worth to fold.

Just minutes ago, things were looking great for Phil Hellmuth. He had just won a pot against Alexander Lakhov with 
and had held firm against betting on multiple streets on an 
board.
He barely had time to enjoy those chips before he found himself on the dark side of a cooler against table shortie James Worth.
Playing only three-handed, it was no surprise to see all the chips fly into the middle preflop and Worth was the massive favorite when the cards were turned on their backs.

The 
flop brought a gutshot for the wheel straight, which would chop the pot. The turn was a and it added another four straight outs to chop. The 
didn't get there for Hellmuth and he had to count out 101,000 chips to pass to Worth.

Over on Table #417, James Sileo has just eliminated Aaron Henderson. Sileo was kind enough to recount what had happened:
Sileo raised on the button and Henderson three-bet. Sileo four-bet jammed and Henderson called.
Aaron Henderson: 
James Sileo: 
The board ran out 
for Sileo to hit his set on the flop to take Henderson out of the running. Sileo is now playing Anthony Reategui heads-up. Reategui already has quite some experience in the shootout format just this summer alone as he finished in 7th place in the #3,000 Shoutout at the start of the WSOP series.
