Hellmuth Out, Back In Again

On the last hand before the end of registration, Ray Medlin moved all in with just 15,500 chips from middle position.

Phil Hellmuth, who entered the event one hand prior, shoved from the hijack with all 50,000 of the chips he just purchased.

Julien Sitbon made the call from the button.

Ray Medlin: 44All in
Phil Hellmuth: J10All in
Julien Sitbon: 87

The runout 9265Q ran Hellmuth and Medlin both out, as Sitbon flopped a combo draw and turned a straight for the win and double knockout to give him a total of 11 bounties to go with a decent stack.

Hellmuth hurried to the WSOP LIVE app to reenter.

"Ah, it was my second hand, but it's a rebuy," Hellmuth shrugged.
