Late Night Drama on the Devil's Table
Phil Hellmuth was eliminated by Alex Foxen and left the tournament area rambling while the action carried on for table 666. The devil's number would bring another dramatic showdown during which Jeffrey Whittinghill and Miltiadis Kyriakides got it in after the 10♠10♦7♠ flop with nearly even stack sizes.
Jeffrey Whittinghill: A♠A♥Q♠3♣
Miltiadis Kyriakides: 10♣7♣3♥2♠
Whittinghill was in very rough shape in the final hand of the night and found no help on the 8♥ turn. However, the river brought the A♣ and Kyriakides shot out of his chair in disgust, mentioning the one word poker players from Greece tend to say after taking a huge bad beat.
Both stacks were counted and Whittinghill doubled for 298,000 before the T-1,000 chips were raced off. Kyriakides lost that chip race, too, and was left with a mere 70,000 for Day 3.
