Well That Was Quick...

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Just a few minutes after taking down some early pots, Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated from the tournament. After calling a preflop raise by Dung Nguyen, the Poker Brat saw a flop of {9-}{3-}{2-}.

Nguyen checked the flop and Hellmuth fired out a bet of 600 chips, prompting a check-raise by Nguyen to 1,500. The 11-time bracelet winner came along for the ride and the dealer revealed a {5-} on the turn.

Nguyen checked the action to Hellmuth once again, who decided on a bet of 1,100 chips. According to Nguyen, who reported the hand to us after Hellmuth had departed, the amateur pushed all-in and Hellmuth made the call, risking his tournament life and showing down the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for top pair.

Nguyen proudly flipped up his {A-}{A-} and after an inconsequential brick on the river, the Poker Brat hit the rail and made the long walk of shame through the Pavilion area.
