The 'durrrr' Elimination Hand

We were able to snag the details of Tom Dwan's elimination hand from 'durrrr' himself. According to Dwan, Phil Hellmuth limped in from the button and Dwan checked. Both players checked the {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop, and the {9-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Dwan then led out with a 4,700 bet and Hellmuth made the call. 5th Street delivered the {9-Diamonds} and Dwan made it 12,400 to go, leaving himself roughly 23,000 behind. Phil then put Dwan all in and Dwan made the call with {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. Hellmuth tabled {9-Spades} {5-?}, revealing a full house and the rest is history.
