Phil Hellmuth opened to 3,500 in the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 10,000 by Mustafa Farah in the big blind.
Hellmuth mulled it over for a little while before folding, claiming he mucked a pat jack-low.

Phil Hellmuth might one day no longer be the only family member to have won World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. That day could even come this year.
Philip Hellmuth III, the "Poker Brat's" son is grinding away at the 2025 WSOP, and he's looking to carve his own legacy in poker. PokerNews caught up with the younger Hellmuth on Sunday to find out if he desires to follow in his father's footsteps, and if he shares in the Poker Hall of Famer's unrivaled passion for winning bracelets.

Sebastian Schulz opened to 3,000 from the hijack, Ismael Bojang called from the cutoff and Ariel Mantel, who had recently lost an all-in hand for most of his stack, called with his one remaining T-500 chip. Mantel stood pat, Schulz drew two and Bojang drew one.
Schulz and Bojang checked after the draw. Schulz had a jack with Jx8x6x3x2x but Bojang had him beat with 10x9x7x5x2x to exponentially increase his short stack.
