Showdown
Girault:
Hellmuth:
"I've got a good feeling about this one," Hellmuth said. It looked like he may have spoke to soon as the flop delivered an ace and gave Girault the lead. With that said, the turn sent a wave of, "Ahhhh's," through the room as it gave Hellmuth an open-ended straight draw and ten outs.
Wouldn't you know it, the river was one of them as Hellmuth straightened out Girault and sent him home in seventh place for €108,864.
