Phil Hellmuth Eliminated

Shortly after being dropped down to just 225 in chips, Phil Hellmuth managed to double up and double up again. In fact, he was up to 1,400 just four hands after being short-stacked.

However, Phil has had a hard time winning races today. He claims to have dodged the pocket aces earlier, then got shorted against pocket queens. His elimination came after going all in against a player while holding A-K. His opponent held pocket eights, which held up, and Phil was eliminated.
