Dustin Helmuth Eliminated in 6th Place ($13,774)
Level 24
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Blair Hinkle raised to 125,000 under the gun and was called by Rohan Aggarwal in the hijack, Dustin Helmuth in the small blind, and Jacob Long in the big blind.
"Let's root for a four-way all in," Kevin Berthelsen joked with Jack Do as they were spectators to the J♥8♣8♥ flop. Helmuth then led out for 210,000 and Hinkle raised to 525,000. The rest of the table folded back to Helmuth, who called.
The turn was the 3♠ and Hinkle moved all in. Helmuth sunk his head as he went into the tank, taking a minute before calling for his last 1,000,000. He showed A♥3♥ for a pair and flush draw, while Hinkle had A♠8♦ for trips.
The 6♣ river was no help to Helmuth, and he was eliminated in sixth place.
