The Fall of Caesar -- Hellmuth Out

Phil Hellmuth

Before the flop, Abraham Mourshaki raised to 22,000 from early position, and Phil Hellmuth flat-called from late position. Jose Manuel Gomez Rebenaque then called from the cutoff, Kenny Hsiung called from the button, and Kevin Jenkins also called from the big blind.

No report if Hellmuth uttered "et tu" or anything similar after all of the callers.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Jenkins pushed all in for 83,000, Mourshaki folded, then Hellmuth reraised all in with his last 110,000. Gomez folded, and Hsiung called.

Jenkins {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Hellmuth {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Hsiung {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Jenkins had an open-ended straight draw, Hellmuth the overpair, and Hsiung two pair.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Jenkins the straight. The river was the {3-Spades}. Jenkins won the main pot, Hsiung the side pot, and Hellmuth has been eliminated.
