Hellmuth Gets Lucky
Phil Hellmuth benefited from a donation in #16 when his opponent misread the board:
"Phil Hellmuth limps in from middle position and several players follow suit and the big blind checks. The flop comes out Qd 6d Ks. The small and big blinds both check and Hellmuth bets out 1,900. His opponent in the cut-off position folds. The small blind calls and the big blind folds. The turn shows the Ac and both players check. The river peels of the 6s and again both players check. Hellmuth shows Kd Jh and his opponent only shows the Kc and mucks his other card."

Player Position Points Greg Merson 5 5 Connor Drinan (boo) 16 1
Selector PointsCarl 5Irish Tom 5Adam Sz 1
Negreanu bubbled and fantasy WSOP scorers worldwide breathed a sigh of relief. Greg Merson continues his hot form with his second final table and third cash already, which is great for Carl and Tom, who have benefited to the tune of 11 points so far. The latest result takes them both past Craig at the top, with Carl two points in the lead. These three are well ahead of the pack, with fourth place back on eight points.

Adam Sz breaks the deadlock in the Battle of the Adams and pulls a point ahead thanks to Drinan"s result.

In #17, Brock Parker is joint chip-leader. We have got these through:
Brock Parker 140,900Bryn Kenney 69,000Jonathan Duhamel 66,100Frank Kassela 61,000David Chiu 53,500Stephen Chidwick 35,400Erik Seidel 29,100Scott Clements 21,400Phil Hellmuth 11,300
63 left in the Razz, compared with 1,118 in the other and we have close to the same number left in both. What astute pickers you are.
You may notice the same player bringing up the rear in both events - Phil Hellmuth has qualified for simultaneous Day Twos. His dismal run so far this year continued and he went through in #16 in 1,086th place out of 1,118 survivors. He played the Razz with a view to dropping out of #16 if he got a stack, but has achieved the worst option of ending up shortstacked in that as well, going through in 61st place out of 63. What to do? Neither stack is healthy enough to be left to cash by itself. Will we see him running between rooms? Depending on starting times, he might be out of one before the other starts. Otherwise, you gotta stick with the Razz surely? Not as far off the pace, bigger entry fee and prize-pool, has an edge at Razz. On the other hand, #16 is already close to the cash (747 get paid), so a quick acceleration and one double-up could be enough to cash, whereas only about a quarter of those remaining in the Razz will cash. And the field isn"t stuffed with professionals like the Razz is. What to do?
MintTrav:
Some more information for your decision. Starting times are 11am for Millionaire-Maker and 2pm for Razz.
Obviously, start at 11am, but suppose it gets to 2pm and you have chipped up a bit but are still quite short-stacked, with 50 eliminations to the money? Maybe the min-cash amount doesn"t register for him, but another notch on his WSOP bedpost would, plus he needs to consider the effect on the points situation in the APAT fantasy league.
