"What the **** just happened?!"

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

That's all Phil Hellmuth could say after he was officially eliminated from today's Pot-Limit Omaha event.

We caught up to see a three-way preflop all in and Phil Hellmuth spreading his cards on the table, his tournament life at risk.

Hellmuth: {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent 2: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and the first opponent scooped the pot with eights full of sevens.

"He shipped with f***king two eights and ace-ten? What the f*** just happened?", asked Hellmuth to no one in particular.

Hellmuth continued to walk around the table, half-laughing, half-shocked, asking others at the table "Did you see that? Did you see what the f*** just happened?"

Hellmuth's quest for the twelfth bracelet will have to be postponed for another day.
