Hell Hath No Fury Like a Short-Stacked Hellmuth

The action folded around to the player on the button who moved his last 17,600 into the middle before Phil Hellmuth snap-called from the big blind. The all-in player showed {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, but found himself trailing Hellmuth's {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Both players made two pair after the dealer spread the board of {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, but Hellmuth had the player outkicked, thus the button was kicked out of the Main Event. There's no doubt that he is fighting back hard and it's paying off - the 11-time WSOP bracelet is now up to 55,000!
