Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Shawn Daniels
Shawn Daniels

Shawn Daniels was all in for 325,000 from early position and Phil Hellmuth came along from the big blind.

Shawn Daniels: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Phil Hellmuth: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

Daniels was in a terrible spot but found a silver lining on the {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop. The {K-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Markus Gonsalves, not involved in the hand, jumped out his seat in excitement, while Hellmuth remained icy calm.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Hellmuth made a flush with his ace of diamonds to knock out Daniels in 19th place.
