Action folded around to Jeff Norman on the button and he raised to 20,000. The small blind passed and Phil Hellmuth called all in for his remaining 10,200. The players showed:

Hellmuth: {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Norman: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The flop came {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} missing both players. The turn was also a blank coming the {2-Hearts}. Hellmuth needed one of six remaining queens or jacks if he was to stay alive. The {K-Hearts} on the river missed him and he was eliminated in 71st place. Along with the $6,604, he also takes home a place in history as this was his record 65th WSOP cash.
