Foxen Dispatches Hellmuth in Dramatic Fashion
PLO – PLO 8 – Big O - PLTD: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 Ante
No-Limit Hold’em: 8,000/16,000, 24,000 Ante
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Alex Foxen opened the button to 40,000 before Hellmuth jammed for 399,000 from the small blind. Foxen took little time before he flicked in the call.
Hellmuth stood pat while Foxen took one, and the cards hit their backs.
Phil Hellmuth: 10x9x8x6x4x 
Alex Foxen: 7x6x5x2x
Foxen peeled an 8x on the draw to make an eight-seven to eliminate Hellmuth in 21st place.
The mostly-empty Horseshoe Ballroom echoed with screams of Hellmuth's "F**k!" as he stormed out of the tournament area.
Hellmuth was in disbelief at Foxen's call as he elaborated, "If I always have a pat hand you're always 30%."
"If you're only shoving when you're pat there, that's pretty bad," replied Foxen.
Foxen and his tablemates defended the call as Hellmuth worked his way towards the payout desk.
Hellmuth was not quite done with his rant as he yelled from across the room, "Motherf***er...Nice call Alex."
