Hellmuth Down, Out

Level 6

No-Limit Hold'em

Three players each paid 400 to see the flop, and they all checked as it came {2-Spades} {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. On the {8-Hearts} turn, Phil Hellmuth took the lead with a small bet of 300, and the player behind him quickly raised to 600. We double-checked the plaque on the table, and indeed we were playing no-limit. The third player folded, and Hellmuth open-mucked his {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}, too. He's had just 1,050 chips left.

Razz

As we were writing that, Hellmuth got the rest of his chips in during razz. With a seven up, Hellmuth completed, and he got the rest of his chips in right there against Owais Ahmed.

Hellmuth had started with an unimpressive ({6-} {7-}) {7-}, and he sounded surprised as he announced, "Ooh, I paired!" Perhaps he hadn't looked yet. In any event, his board ran out ({6-} {7-}) {7-}{q-}{4-}{9-} / ({3-}), and he made a nine somehow. He was live on sixth street, but Ahmed ended up with {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}{8-}{j-}{k-} to take care of Hellmuth.

Ahmed is right around 10,000 with that knockout.
