Mikhail Savinov was all in on fifth street against Ted Forrest. On sixth street, Savinov caught the for a full house to lock up half the pot. Forrest hoped to catch a low, but the on sixth street and on seventh brought no help whatsoever.
John Racener completed with the and Phil Hellmuth (who was the bring in with the ) raised.
"Let's get it in now, raise re-raise," Hellmuth said.
Racener obliged and was all in for 134,000.

Racener turned over (the ) on seventh street for queens up and needed to dodge a or low card to double. Hellmuth slowly peeled, but was disgusted to see the for a losing pair.
"What game are you playing? Three-and-a-half big bets left and you get it in with ace-queen-jack? Write that on the internet," said Hellmuth (That last part to us).
"Had to try and double. That's a scoop!" said a jovial Racener.
Ted Forrest was facing a bet on fifth street from chip leader Eric Rodawig and tanked for about two or three minutes before eventually making a reluctant fold. Rodawig has been gradually increasing his stack all day and at this point it's very hard to see anyone stopping him the way the game is currently going.
What started as an uneventful pot turned into Joe Tehan's last of the tournament. The action was checked by both on fourth and fifth street. Tehan check-called a bet on sixth street and then fired on seventh, only to be raised for the rest of his stack. After a few moment Tehan called with for aces up, but Rodawig tabled for a straight to send Tehan to the rail in seventh place.
Mikhail Savinov raised all in on fifth and showed buried aces against Rodawig's open tens. Savinov caught nines on sixth to make aces up and the chip leader couldn't catch another ten to eliminate him.
Meanwhile in big pot, it hard got heads up between Phil Hellmuth and Eric Rodawig on sixth street after Joe Tehan and Mikhail Savinov had folded.

Hellmuth had been betting all the way and Rodawig had been the only caller on fifth, the chip leader then raised on sixth and Hellmuth said, "Mike Matusow told me all about the weird hands you play..."
Hellmuth eventually mucked the face up, to become one of the shorter stacks.
Joe Tehan had completed, called by Forrest and Rodawig, Tehan then fired again on fourth and fifth but on the latter Rodawig check-raised both players though they both made the call. It was checked to Forrest on sixth who bet with the other two check-calling before Rodawig check-raised Forrest on seventh. Tehan folded and Forrest put in three bets which the chip leader called.
Rodawig showed for a boat while Forrest had for a low and a flush to chop it up.
