Hellmuth Makes Short Appearance in $1,000,000 Super Saver
Phil Hellmuth had only been at the table for about an orbit when Matthew Wantman opened 5,000 in the cutoff and he made the call from the small blind.
Both players checked to the A♦4♠3♥Q♥J♣ river, where Hellmuth splashed a bet of 3,500 across the line. Wantman took a few seconds and made the call to hear the words, "You're good," as Hellmuth tabled 7♣6♣. Wantman showed 10♥10♦ to drag the pot.
The following hand, Romain Lewis opened 5,000 in middle position and Phil Hellmuth clicked it to 10,000, leaving just 500 behind. The action folded back around to Lewis who put in the extra raise and Hellmuth called off for his 10,500 total.
Phil Hellmuth: 6♦6♠ 
Romain Lewis: Q♣9♣
The J♣10♠4♥ flop gave Lewis some extra outs as he flopped an open-ended straight draw. The 3♣ turn looked promising for Hellmuth, but the 9♠ river gave Lewis a pair of nines to send Hellmuth packing.
