Hellmuth Makes a Quick Exit

The action didn't stop at Phil Hellmuth's table and unfortunately for him, he never found himself on the right side of it. With around 200,000 in the pot, the board read and Hellmuth checked from the big blind. Bryn Kenney bet 140,000 in early position and Hellmuth check-raised to 475,000. Kenney made the call and the paired the board on the river.

Hellmuth announced a bet of 500,000 and Kenney shoved all in for 967,000. "Bryn fucking Kenney," Hellmuth exclaimed as he stood up from his chair, followed by a few more curse words. Hellmuth had only 206,000 remaining but he sat in thought while talking to himself. Dietrich Fast eventually called the clock after four minutes.

"Are you really calling the fucking clock in the One Drop?" Hellmuth asked. The clock struck zero and Hellmuth's hand was declared dead but he still opened to show the table.

In the very next hand, Hellmuth got the rest of his chips in the middle with but ran into of his opponent. The board ran out dry for Hellmuth and he was quickly eliminated.

He started to walk away from his table but quickly returned to mention one thing, "Just so you know, I played every hand." The rest of the table agreed as they shook Hellmuth's hand before he exited the tournament area.
