Phil Hellmuth

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in late position and he raised to 50,000. Alfredo Fernandez reraised to 150,000 from the small blind and Hellmuth made the call.

The flop came {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

. Fernandez shoved all in for about 1,150,000 which was extremely close to Hellmuth's remaining stack. The call would have been for his tournament life or very close to it.

Hellmuth thought for a bit, at one point saying, "So sick -- he's probably cold-shoving eights or something."

Hellmuth eventually folded {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

face-up and as Fernandez stacked the pot, he tossed his {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

face-up into the muck.

An obviously frustrated Hellmuth kept his composure.
