Ivey Leaves Hellmuth on Fumes
Level 15
Omaha Hi-Lo
Phil Hellmuth defended the big blind against a button raise by Phil Ivey and then stuck around all the way on the 9♦7♦4♠8♥9♣ runout, check-calling all the way. Hellmuth's A♠Q♣7♠3♠ were the second nut low with nines and sevens. He only earned one quarter of the pot, as Ivey had the A♥K♣9♥3♥ for trips nines and the same low.
That loss left Hellmuth rambling with a small rail gathered right behind him in the Horseshoe Event Center.
