Esfandiari Busts Hellmuth Short of the Money

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Phil Hellmuth - Eliminated
Phil Hellmuth - Eliminated

Antonio Esfandiari opened to 5,000 on the button, and Phil Hellmuth called in the big blind, only leaving a few thousand behind. The flop fell {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Hellmuth shoved, and being pot committed, Esfandiari called.

Esfandiari: {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Hellmuth: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Esfandiari only had ten-high, but it held up when the turn and river bricked {k-Hearts}, {8-Clubs} respectively. Hellmuth finished just short of the money, while Esfandiari has 50,000 chips.
