Phil Hellmuth has defeated Thiago Nishijima to advance to the next round.

On the final hand, the two players got it all in for Nishijima's tournament life with Hellmuth holding {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} over Nishijima's {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The flop brought {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Nishijima was left calling for a ten. He did not find it as the {Q-Diamonds} paired the board on fourth street. Ultimately, Hellmuth clinched victory as the {9-Diamonds} finished off the board.

"You played very, very strong," Hellmuth told Nishijima after the match. "Much better than all of my other opponents."

Hellmuth will move on to play Marc-Andre Ladouceur in the next round.
