Hellman Crippled; Then Eliminated

In the hand that would cripple him, Erik Hellman opened to 33,000 from the hijack seat and action folded around to Fernando Suaya in the big blind, who made the call.

Both players checked the {Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Spades} flop.

When the {8-Clubs} fell on the turn, Suaya check-called a 33,000 bet from Hellman.

The {10-Spades} completed the board and this time, Suaya announced he was all in for his last 211,000. Hellman fell into the tank, but eventually called after much deliberation. Suaya tabled {8-Spades}{5-Spades} for a rivered flush and Hellman mucked.

Shortly thereafter, Hellman open pushed all in for his last 55,000 and action folded around to Evan Orman, who went all in himself. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Orman: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Hellman: {10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board failed to improve Hellman's hand and he was eliminated.
