Hellmuth Strikes Out

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Gary Benson opened for 600 and action folded to 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who was already all in from the big blind for his last 275.

"I haven't looked," Hellmuth said before revealing his hand.

Hellmuth: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Benson: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Hellmuth seemed delighted to be in a race situation, but his enthusiasm dampened when the flop came down {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

"Oh, that's not good," Hellmuth said. The {2-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead, and as the dealer put out the {6-Hearts} on the river, Hellmuth was already busy shaking hands with everyone at the table.

"What time do we start tomorrow? I should probably show up before 15 bigs," Hellmuth said before departing. For what it's worth, Day 1b will kick off at 12:10 p.m. local time on Friday, with Day 1c following later that evening at 6:10 p.m.
