Craig Chait was all in by fourth street and up against Phil Hellmuth.

Phil Hellmuth turned over 2♠2♣2♦J♦10♣4♦6♥ for trips, while Chait had A♣A♥5♠5♥7♥6♣ showing by seventh street and needed to improve to stay alive. He instead flipped over the K♣ and was sent to the rail in 20th place.

"Phil beat me with deuces. You won't hear about it, but I'm going to tweet about it, though," Chait said on his way to the exit.
