Hand #59 - Perry Friedman has the button in seat 9, he moves all in for 120,000, and Hellmuth calls from the big blind with {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Friedman shows {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

Mike Matusow yells, "C'mon, Philly. C'mon, Perry. I don't know who to root for!"

Hellmuth goes back to Ivey to book more insurance. Ivey's making more money than whoever will bust in seventh place. Hellmuth ends the discussion by saying, "You're ridiculous -- but yes."

The flop comes {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth retains the lead with ace high. The turn card is the {5-Spades}, and the crowd cheers as Hellmuth makes a seven-high straight. Friedman's needs an eight, which would put an eight-high straight on the board to chop the pot.

The last card is the -- {J-Hearts}. Friedman rivers a pair of jacks, but it's too little, too late, and Hellmuth wins the pot with a seven-high straight.

Perry Friedman is eliminated in seventh place, earning $57,063. The next player eliminated will receive $76,464 for sixth place.

Hand #58

Hand #58 - Shankar Pillai has the button in seat 8, Hellmuth raises under the gun to 85,000, Pillai reraises to 200,000 from the button, and Hellmuth stands up, taking off his sunglasses in disgust. It's folded back to Hellmuth, who is standing behind the table, talking to himself as he studies Pillai.

Hellmuth takes his seat, looks at his cards, and slides them to the dealer. Pillai takes the pot with a smile.
