Halfon Busts Hellmuth
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Albert Halfon has busted one of the great bracelet-hunters (and catchers) of all time - Phil Hellmuth. A late registrant, Hellmuth will not be winning his 16th bracelet in the Seniors 2019.
Down to 20,000 or so, Hellmuth's last hand was a three-way pot. An early position player limped for 1,200, Hellmuth made it 6,000 to go and was called by the limper and button Halfon.
Flop: 
. Check to Hellmuth who moved all in. Halfon called, and the third player folded.
Halfon: 
for top pair.
Hellmuth: 
, an overcard, flush draw and straightening potential.
Nothing came to improve Hellmuth's hand on the 
turn and river and he was up and off in moments.
