WSOP 2024 Day 35 – Bloody Bustout for Hellmuth in Tag Team

The Tag Team event at the WSOP is always a fun affair but it was also a short one for Phil Hellmuth and his sidekick from the world of science, Allan Mishra.

 Event #75: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em

An incredible 1,437 teams of two ponied up the $1k entry fee, including the likes of Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, Josh Arieh and his better half, with fancy dress an optional extra.

Maria Ho and Kami Hudson were another couple who joined Hellmuth and Matusow on the rails, but the Arieh’s advanced, as did English online crusher Chris Moorman and Dan Charlton, who bagged a top ten stack.

Event #70: $400 Colossus No-Limit Hold’em

Twenty-thousand entries have already been shorn down to just 92 players, led by Joel Vanetten, with 2004 Main Event champ Greg Raymer among the chasing pack.

German soccer star Max Kruse was involved in one of the most incredible hands of the series, Daniele Nestola at least having a wonderful bad beat story as consolation…

Max Kruse: A♥ J♥

Daniele Nestola: K♠ K♦

The pre-flop all-in looked good for Nestola, but the flop was a hammerblow…

Flop: Q♥ K♥ :10:

Turn: 3♦

…and the river was a slap in the face…

River: K♣

Event #73: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha

Only five players remain in the hunt for the $25k PLO crown from a field of 476, all chasing the top prize of $2,246,728 and with 6-time bracelet winner Brian Rast the pick of the bunch.

One of the earliest casualties of day 3 was Tom Dwan, falling in 33rd spot for $60,672, joined on the rail later by Viktor Blom (22nd for $85,519), Joni Jouhkimainen (12th for $104,659) and Anuj Agarwal (8th for $215, 563).

Event #74: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship

Sukel Patel was the unfortunate bubbleboy on day 3 as the players went from late reg to in the money in a marathon 14-hour session and saw Todd Ivens turn his max-late reg into top of the chip counts.

Todd Brunson and Norman Chad are still in the mix, but Allen Kessler and Anthony Zinno were among the casualties. The survivors will play to a winner today, with $376,476 and WSOP gold waiting up top.

A quarter of the 965 entry field survived yesterday to the day 2 Mystery Bounty stage today, with English Duo Roberto Romanello and Stephen Chidwick currently occupying podium spots.

Ike Haxton is another with a big stack, while a star-studded list is still in with a shout, including Kristen Foxen, Jennnifer Harman, Daniel Negreanu, Erik Seidel, and former Main Event champs Johnny Chan and Espen Jorstad.

Event #77: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet

Day 1 drew in 388 entries and ended with 122 progressing, Patrick Moulder leading the way and mixed results for Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow.

Hellmuth survived alongside 2013 Main Event champion Ryan Riess, but “Mike the Mouth” bowed out, as did defending champion Julio Belluscio.
