DeWitt Drops Hellmuth Under 100,000
Level 13
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Seven Card Stud
Derek DeWitt: A♠J♠/4♠J♥K♦2♦/4♣
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/J♦Q♥A♣8♣/Xx
Action had been completed on seventh street, and Derek DeWitt had just announced "jacks up" as he showed his hole cards that indeed gave him two pair, jacks and fours.
His opponent, Phil Hellmuth lept out of his seat in shock that DeWitt had apparently beaten him on seventh street. DeWitt told Hellmuth that he had started with three spades, made jacks on fourth street, and then a second and winning pair on seventh street.
The loss drops Hellmuth to one of the shorter stacks in the field.
Meanwhile at an adjacent table, Daniel Idema was recently eliminated.
