Hellmuth Eliminated by Vitch
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vincas Tamasauskas raised the pot to 42,000 from under the gun and received three callers including Christopher Vitch and Phil Hellmuth out of the blinds.
Vitch checked the 10♠8♣8♦ flop and Hellmuth moved all-in for 81,000. That forced folds to Vitch, who gave it brief consideration and then called.
Phil Hellmuth: A♦8♥3♣2♠
Christopher Vitch: K♠Q♠Q♣10♥
The Q♥ turn improved Vitch to queens full of eights and the 7♣ river ended the run of Hellmuth, who chatted up a storm of swear words before heading to the rail.
