... Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated from Event #16.

A player in middle position limped into the pot, Mike Wattel and Manny Minaya joined the party, and Hellmuth put in a raise. All three opponents called.

The flop brought {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

. Action was checked around to Hellmuth, and he made a bet. The first player folded, and Wattel raised it, putting Hellmuth all in. The two players showed down their hands:

Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

Wattel:

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

The turn and river came {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

,

{Q-Spades}

, failing to improve Hellmuth and sending him to the rail. Wattel, meanwhile, is up to 10,000.
