Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 4th Place ($200,000)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth - 4th Place
Phil Hellmuth - 4th Place

A short-stacked Phil Hellmuth moved all in under the gun for 495,000 and Tom Marchese isolated by three-betting all in over the top from the small blind.

Hellmuth: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Marchese: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

In all three of the elimination hands thus far an ace has spiked on the river, but the opposite happened here as the {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop gave Marchese a set. Hellmuth needed running straight cards, but the {9-Hearts} turn took away any chance of that happening.

The {9-Diamonds} river made Hellmuth's elimination official, and he headed to the exit. He also stated he may go take a nap before jumping into Event #3.
