Gottesman Gets the Best of Hellmuth

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

We didn't see the hand but Josh Gottesman was kind enough to relay to us how he eliminated Phil Hellmuth.

According to Gottesman he checked a flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} to Hellmuth who bet 2,200. Gottesman raised to 5,500 and Hellmuth shoved all in over the top for about 20,000 more.

Gottesman called with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} while Hellmuth was behind with {K-}{J-Hearts}. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river was the {J-Spades} eliminating Hellmuth from the tournament.

Hellmuth was heard mumbling expletives about getting coolered every day as he left the building.
