Ensan Ousted by Hellmuth

Brandon Bloom

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With a large pot in the middle on a completed board, one player was already all-in, and Hossein Ensan moved all in for his 27,500 remaining chips in the big blind, putting the action on Martin Hellmuth on the button.

"You're gonna think I'm slow-rolling you," Hellmuth said as he put his hands on his face and deliberated. After a bit of time, he called.

Ensan showed but it was no good as Hellmuth tabled for a superior flush.

"Sorry mate, I'll buy you a beer," Hellmuth apologized as he claimed he actually was thinking of possibly folding, while the WSOP and EPT Main Event champion made his exit.
