Hellmuth Eliminated in Near Silence

Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated with a surprising minimum of fuss. Short-stacked coming into the day, he was going to have to go for the double-up sometime, and when he pushed it seems his pocket fours failed to hold up against table big stack Russell Carson's {A-?} {Q-?} on a {10-?} {3-?} {6-?} {Q-?} {6-?} board. Hellmuth, who said afterwards that it was the first time in the tournament that he'd been all in, stood up and left quietly.
