: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth raised to 56,000 from the button. Luigi Shehadeh responded with a shove all in from the small blind. The big blind thought for a moment before folding.

"I would bust him everyday if we played everyday. He's literally raised me 19 times. 100% I'm gonna bust him" Hellmuth continued.
"You have a lot of wood to chop Phil" said one of the players at the table, referencing Shehadeh's large stack.
"Well I'm gonna do it. 100%" Hellmuth assured the table and everyone around who would listen.
