Phil Hellmuth - 12th Place
Phil Hellmuth - 12th Place

Phil Hellmuth came in with high hopes today but had a Brandon Cantu shaped mountain to climb to advance. He made it over the first crest, slipped a little, and then fell down that mountain.

Hellmuth raised to 6,000 and was three-bet to 22,000 by Cantu. He quickly committed his 140,000 stack and Cantu called.

Hellmuth: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Cantu: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Cantu will advance to the round of eight.

Hellmuth said afterwards that he had regrets that he didn't play more patiently
