After being scooped by Ted Weinstock in a previous hand Frederic Le Roux has now hit the rail.

Phil Hellmuth opened to 28,000 from early position with Barry Craig making the call from the small blind. Le Roux slid in his last 18,000 from the big blind.

Hellmuth moved all in for his last 17,000 on the flop of {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Craig eventually mucked after trading banter with Hellmuth to see the cards tabled.

Le Roux: {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Hellmuth: {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

The turn and river fell the {K-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts} to see Le Roux exit in 18th place for a $8,570 payday.

Do You Wanna Quote?

Comfortable . . . well kind of
Comfortable . . . well kind of
Phil Hellmuth came over and approached us and asked, "do you want a quote"

We nodded our head to hear Hellmuth utter, "I'm short . . . and I'm comfortable . . . but I don't want to get comfortable being short!"

Randy Holland has been sent to the rail by Aaron Sias when his {A-?}{10-?}{3-?}{4-?} was all in on the flop against Sias' {A-?}{K-?}{3-?}{4-?}.

The flop dropped both an ace and king as well as a low card to give both players a low draw along with top pair.

The turn and river blanked out to see Holland's top pair no good against Sias' top two and a 19th place exit followed.
