Level 7

Over on Table 368 Seat 2, there is a lonely, unattended stack of 9,575 chips slowly dwindling away. The owner of the stack is Mr. Phil Ivey, and save for one or two hands, he hasn't played it at all this evening.
What's the reason for Ivey's absence, you ask? He's currently among the chip leaders in Event #18: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em with around 40,000 chips. Ivey can't multi-table the event properly either, because his other stack is across the Rio in the Brasilia Room, and the last break was synced in the two events.
We will keep you updated if Ivey makes his way back into the Amazon Room, and if his stack dips into the danger zone.

Allen Kessler informed us of Phil Hellmuth's pending all in, so we rushed over and found a short-stacked Hellmuth all in from the small blind with 
against Mark Herm's 
from under the gun.
The flop fell 
to keep Hellmuth ahead, but the 
turned to give Herm the lead. The 
river was no help to Hellmuth, ending his tournament.

There was an open to 800 from early position. Brock Parker and Hans Winzeler called in late position, and Phil Galfond tanked for a bit before three-betting to 2,600 out of the small blind. All three players called.
The flop fell 
, and Galfond led out for 3,200. The original raiser tanked for a considerable amount of time, then called. Parker and Winzeler both folded quickly.
The turn was the , the two players slowly knuckled, and the completed the board. The pair checked again.
"I have a weak ace," the player said, showing .
Galfond grimaced, then tossed his hand into the muck.
"Kings?" the player asked Galfond, who smiled.
"Little worse," he responded. There was a beat. "A lot worse, actually."
