Phil Hellmuth Eliminated

Pot-limit Omaha:

What a lineup we have over at table one. In this hand, an under-the-gun player raised to 900. Barry Greenstein called from the cutoff, Andy Bloch called from the button, and Phil Hellmuth called from the big blind.

Flop: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Hellmuth checked and the under-the-gun player bet out. Greenstein and Bloch folded and then Hellmuth raised all in. His opponent called.

Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Hellmuth had a straight draw and the nut flush draw, but even when the turn heldped him with the {A-Clubs}, the river blanked with the {8-Clubs} and Hellmuth was sent from the deadly table to the rail in his always-gracious fashion.
