Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 9th Place ($86,118)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth moved all in for his last 835,000 on the button and was looked up by Eli Berg in the small blind.
Phil Hellmuth: 8♣8♦
Eli Berg: A♣J♦
It was a coinflip with Hellmuth's tournament life on the line. The K♠7♥A♥ flop immediately paired up Berg to leave Hellmuth hoping to make a set to survive. It did not happen as the 4♦ turn and 10♥ river completed the board to send the all time WSOP bracelet leader out a couple spots short of the final table.
