Quick Exit for Hellmuth

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Phil Hellmuth came and went fairly quickly in Event #27. Moments ago we stumbled upon his table, and all we found in his stead was a Starbucks cup with the words "The Man" on it. He was eliminated by Ricky Fohrenbach, who was kind enough to give us some details. According to him, Hellmuth defended a raise with 13 big blinds then got the rest of his money in on an [8x3x2] flop holding {q-}{3-}. Fohrenbach had him crushed with {8-}{8-}, and held.

The 13-time bracelet winner hit the rail, while Fohrenbach now has 18,000 chips.
