Hellmuth Lays Down a Hand

Phil Hellmuth

After the player in the cutoff limped into the pot, Phil Hellmuth raised to 2,600 from the small blind. The cutoff then reraised to 10,000, putting Hellmuth back on the boil.

"You know I have something right? But you think I'm weak," Hellmuth said as he riffled his remaining chips.

Hellmuth eventually mucked {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} face up. He's down to 7,025.

While Hellmuth's hand was happening, Tiffany Michelle was eliminated from the event.
