Hellmuth Exits

Hellmuth Out
Hellmuth Out
The action folded to Phil Hellmuth on the button who gave his usual "raise it up", tossing 2,000 into the middle. The player in the big blind made the call and they took a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

The big blind checked and Hellmuth bet, before the big blind check-raised. Hellmuth only had 1,700 behind and committed them into the pot with his opponent making the call.

"I think you got me," said the 11-time bracelet winner, "I only have ace-queen". His opponent revealed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and river the {J-Clubs} and Hellmuth tossed his cards into the muck and made a hasty exit from the Brasilia Room.
