Fare Thee Well Sir Hellmuth

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Phil Hellmuth is no longer with us in the Amazon Room. We found his empty seat and his tablemates filled us in on the action. Hellmuth was short stacked with only a few big blinds and moved all in preflop holding {A-} {9-}. He was called by another player, who busted just after he did, holding {A-} {7-}.

The board ran {J-} {10-} {8-} {9-} {6-} and Hellmuth's opponent made a straight.
