Hellmuth, Tony G, Leonidas Eliminated

Phil Hellmuth is out as we approach the money bubble and he may soon be joined by Tony G. Hellmuth's undoing came in two quick hands.

First, in a battle of the blinds, Sam Farha raised pre-flop from the small blind and Hellmuth called from the big blind. Hellmuth called additional bets on the flop and turn before getting to check behind on the river. Hellmuth mucked his hand on a board of {10-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {6-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {j-Hearts} after Farha showed down {k-Clubs} {k-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for two pair, kings and jacks.

That hand left Hellmuth with 60,000 chips. A short time later, he busted in a hand that crippled Tony G. They were involved in a four-way pot with Chino Rheem and Sam Farha. By the time the river came down, Rheem's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs} was best both ay on a board of {k-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {k-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}.

Tony G was left with just 8,000 chips. He busted a few hands later, as did Toto Leonidas.
