Hellmuth Has Exited the Building

Phil Hellmuth and Mekhi Phifer

Only lasting for thirty minutes, and down to just 575 in chips, Phil Hellmuth made it 500 to go preflop from the big blind. A middle-position player called, as did a late-position player. On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Hellmuth shoved all in for his remaining 75. The middle-player position called and the late-position player made it 2,000 more to go. The middle-position player folded and Hellmuth's pocket queens were up against the late-position player's A-7. The turn brought another six, giving Hellmuth's opponent a full house, but the river dropped another ace, giving him quads to eliminate Hellmuth from today's event.
