Zulker Drills a One-Outer to Knock Out Hellmuth
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Zulker opened to 6,500 from under the gun and Leon Sturm called from early position. Phil Hellmuth three-bet shoved for 93,000 from the hijack, Zulker called with a covering stack and Sturm mucked 8♠8♣.
Phil Hellmuth: A♠K♦ 
Michael Zulker: Q♠Q♦
It was a classic race that Zulker was ahead of on the 3♠4♣J♣ flop. Hellmuth became a huge favorite after making top pair on the K♣ turn, leaving Zulker drawing to just one out given that the Q♣ was folded preflop. The Q♥ river gave Zulker his one out to a set, eliminating the 17-time bracelet winner from the Main Event.
