Poseidon Crashes Into Boat
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth, who early today made a grand entrance dressed as Poseidon and surrounded by 17 mermaids, was down to just five big blinds and opened to 11,000 on the button with just 8,000 behind. Ori Eshel three-bet on the button and Hellmuth quickly called off to be at risk.
Phil Hellmuth: K♦J♥
Ori Eshel: Q♥Q♦
There was no sweat for the 17-time bracelet winner as the flop landed Q♠6♦6♠ to give Eshel a boat and have Hellmuth drawing dead.
"Good flop for you," Hellmuth said as he stood from his seat headed to the runout of A♠6♥ confirmed his elimination.
