Phil Hellmuth Eliminated

Limit Hold'em:

Phil Hellmuth might want to ring up his life coach and ask for a new mantra.

Hellmuth's bustout-in-two-acts began in a hand against Andy Bloch. Hellmuth held {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Bloch two red sevens. There were two hearts on the flop, another on the turn and a fourth on the river, Bloch making a flush to claim the pot.

"Of course, it's Andy f**kin' Bloch. Of course he's going to beat me with sevens," Hellmuth exclaimed, his blood pressure rising.

On the next hand, Hellmuth and Chris Ferguson each put three bets in on the {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. When the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn, Hellmuth check-called all-in, turning up {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for second pair. Ferguson, however, had turned top pair with {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and it held up on the river, which fell the {7-Hearts}, eliminating Hellmuth.

Ferguson is up to 470,000.
