2008 World Series of Poker
Event 23 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Day: 1
Poker Brat's Stack Dissected In Half
The hand in question was a simple affair, Hellmuth raising it up to 1,000 from the button, the small blind pushing all in for 1,475 more and Hellmuth making the call. A-3 versus A-J, a three on the turn of no use on an A-K-K-3-4 board.
Hellmuth is now down to 4,350 in chips and has his head slumped in his arms on the table before me.
Top Pair Takes It
Mizzi currently 4,275.
