Good level for
Jonathan Duhamel – The Canadian won a huge pot against Scott Seiver to further boost his chances of a decent return in this heat. If he picks up a top three finish here then he’s going to be able to put a ton of pressure on the players feeling the heat in the last two heats of Group A.
Phil Hellmuth – The player everyone loves to hate chipped up in a big way in this level and as Phil Laak said. “He’s done it by making crazy bat shit plays.” Hellmuth is coming ladies and gentleman.
Bad level for
