Level 26: 30,000-60,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth arrived with the usual specticule at this year's Bellagio Cup but it was Phil Ivey who stole the show by final tabling a record-setting 9th time on the WPT.
Justin 'BoostedJ' Smith had his eyes set on back-to-back Bellagio Cup final tables and he made it. He's looking to better last year's third place finish.
Zach Hyman's A
Q couldn't hold against the 35 of Robert Akery and he was eliminated on the TV final table bubble earning $84,968.
Rick Salomon's never-ending massage went on, and on, and on, and on but it eventually had to come to an end when he was eliminated in 9th place. The $54,378 he received should help cover most of the cost of his 11-hour massage.
Maria Ho locks up another 'Last Woman Standing' title this time on the WPT. She was eventually eliminated in 10th place ($40,783) when her pockets tens were outflopped by John Caridad's AJ (he flopped the nut flush). This was Maria's best finish on the WPT, her previous best being a 23rd place at the Legends of Poker.
Paola Martin put up a tough fight through out the tournament and that lead her to an 11th place finish, $33,986, and title of 'Next to Last Woman' standing.
Cory Carroll (above) and Joe Hachem (below) were also amongst those who were eliminated early on Day 4.
