Final Table Set

There are ten players left in Event #38 $3,000 NL Hold'em. Dustin Holmes is the chip leader with 1.075M.

Phil Hellmuth is among the final ten players. He was quick to point out that he has not made the final table... yet. If he can survive one more bustout, he'll tie T.J. Cloutier with 39 career final tables. Currently, Hellmuth holds the record for bracelets with 11, and the most WSOP cashes with 60. When he returns on Tuesday he'll try to win bracelet #12. He has a lot of work ahead of him considering that he's one of the short stacks.

The Final 10

Usually, WSOP final tables are nine-handed with a few exceptions. This is one of them. There are ten players remaining and play has been suspended. The final ten players are redrawing for seats at the final table. Stay tuned for seating assignments and chip counts.

Kevin Hong Eliminated in 12th Place ($21,456)

Kevin Hong raised 50K. Luke Vrabel moved all in for 440K. Hong called.

Vrabel: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Hong: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Vrbael stood up and paced around screaming: "Hold! Hold!"

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and Vrabel smacked the back of a chair and yelled: "No nine! No nine!"

When the {K-Diamonds} fell on the river, he screamed, "Yes!"

Hong headed to the rail in 12th place as Vrabel jumped into third place in chips.

Hellmuth Pushes Vrabel Off a Pot

Luke Vrabel raised 41K from UTG. Phil Hellmuth reraised all in for 172K. Vrabel folded and Hellmuth showed {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Vrabel said he folded A-10.

"I've been playing great poker all day and he wakes up to A-K. Unreal!" Vrabel screamed for ESPN's cameras.

Vrabel and Hellmuth were jawing earlier in the day. They were at the same table and Vrabel took a pot from Hellmuth with J-9. Hellmuth berated him for awhile, for calling his raise with that hand.
