Phil Hellmuth out in 10th

Action in the first hand was folded around to Carlos Mortensen, who made it 1,200 from Seat 2. Dan Harrington folded his small blind, and Phil Hellmuth in the big blind called for his last 675. This turned out to be a race, with Mortensen’s {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

against Hellmuth’s {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{5-Spades}

.

The flop of {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

missed Hellmuth. The {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

turn gave Hellmuth additional outs to the straight, but the turn was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

and Hellmuth’s unofficial final table here lasted exactly one hand.
