Over at table 12, Jeff Fenech raised it up to 4,200, and the player to his left re-raised to 11,000. Apparently, as all this went down, they realized that the player who re-raised (who had just been moved to the table that hand) was in fact sitting in the wrong seat. Fenech seemed rather pissed off seeing as the action would've been different had the player been in his own seat. The floor was called over and they ruled that the hand had to be played out as is, but that once the hand was over, the player would obviously move to his correct seat. After yet another floor person was called over to confirm it, and Fenech continued to air his frustration, he finally folded, still shaking his head. The player scooped the small pot and moved to his new seat, two seats to the left
Phil Hellmuth raised to 3,800 from middle position and Marcos Cerqueira called from the big blind to see the flop. Both players checked and the turn brought the . Both checked again and the river completed the board with the . Both checked a third time.
Cerqueira mucked after Hellmuth showed the , but the hand took a few minutes longer.
Hellmuth's table is not one of the two featured tables here on Day 3. The table is in the middle of the Purple Section of the Amazon Room , but there's plenty of filming going on every single hand in order to catch all of the action at the table and especially action involving Hellmuth.
After many hands have been completed, the production team has instructed the dealer to hold the board and all cards where they are while they film. The dealer does so, which takes an extra minute or two before washing the deck and moving to the next hand. The dealer also has been instructed to hold a player's mucked holding, as happened on this hand.
Hellmuth showed his hand and Ader mucked, but the dealer didn't pull the hand into the muck. After the filming team shoots the board in the middle of the table with the winning hand, a mini camera is placed on the table in front of the player who mucked, in this case it was Cerqueira. He takes back his cards and shows them to the camera as though it were a hole-card camera. This is so when the hand airs later on, all hole cards can be known throughout the action.
We found this hand developing at the river. The board read with 30,000 already in the pot. Peter Jetten had a 25,000 bet in front of him and his opponent was tanking. His opponent finally called and Jetten tabled and his opponent mucked. Jetten is up to 120,000.
The flop had already fallen when we reached Table 347. "Miami" John Cernuto led out for 20,000 from the small blind, Arturo Diaz raised to 50,000 on the button, and Cernuto called.
The turn was the , and Cernuto moved all in for effectively 85,000. Diaz tank-folded face-up, and Cernuto won the pot.
With about 12,000 in the middle and the board showing , it checked to Phil Collins on the button who bet 7,000. John Hill called from the big blind, and the third player folded in between.
The turn was the . This time Hill led with a bet of 12,000, and Collins sat motionless for about a minute. Finally, with great deliberation, Collins raised to 27,000, and Hill went deep into the tank. After a couple of minutes Hill stacked 61,000 and began riffling the chips, gauging Collins' for a reaction. Finally Hill rechecked his cards, then pushed them face down to the dealer.
From the UTG +1 position, Joseph Cheong popped it up to 3,500 before the flop and the action folded around to the player in the big blind who called, but then both players checked down the whole board of .
The big blind tabled and Cheong mucked his hand. It was only a small hit though - he's still sitting pretty with 224,000 in chips.
Nikolaus Kovacs raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Lyle Berman on the button and Craig Schauer in the small blind. All three players proceeded to check the flop, leading to the turn. It went check-check to Berman, who fired out a modest 7,500.
Schauer quickly got out of the way while Kovacs opted to make the call. The river inspired a check from Kovacs, opening the door for Berman to bet 20,000. Kovacs reluctantly flicked his cards to the muck , preserving his stack of 71,000. Berman is up to 175,000.
With about 38,000 already in on the turn of a board, Erick Lindgren was tanking against an all in of 27,400 from his small blind opponent. Finally Lindgren made the call showing for the turned flush but he had been right to be wary, his opponent flipping for the nut flush which held on the river.
