It folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who limped. Chi Chen raised to 10,000 in the big blind, and Hellmuth called.

On the A♠5♦2♠ flop, Hellmuth checked to Chen who bet 8,000. Hellmuth then announced all in for his remaining 67,000, and Chen immediately called.

Phil Hellmuth: 9♠7♠ All in
Chi Chen: A♦10♠

Hellmuth held a spade flush draw against the top pair of Chen. The camera crews hovered over the table as the 3♣ turn offered no additional outs for Hellmuth, except for a four to chop.

However, the river was the 8♥, and the 17-time bracelet winner was eliminated from the Main Event. He wished his opponents farewell and exited the tournament area in silence as his quest for number 18 will have to wait another day.
