Derek Raymond Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,543)
Level 27
Big O
"Let's try something different," said Phil Hellmuth as he limped in from the hijack. Aleksey Filatov and Tim Seidensticker folded before Joshua Adcock made it 120,000 from the small blind. Derek Raymond put in his last 115,000 from the big blind, and Hellmuth called as well.
On the 10♣9♥3♣ flop, Adcock bet 385,000 which sent Hellmuth into the tank for several minutes. Hellmuth eventually let his hand go and the cards were tabled.
Derek Raymond: A♥8♣6♦5♥5♣
Joshua Adcock: A♦A♣8♦5♦2♣
Raymond's flush draw was covered, and he was drawing nearly dead for both pots.
The 9♠ turn changed nothing, as did the 8♠ river.
Adcock's aces took the full pot, and Raymond's exit set up the two-table redraw.
