Ole Askeland Eliminated in 11th Place ($42,524)

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Ole Askeland
Ole Askeland

Ole Askeland raised to 300,000 under the gun. It folded to Phil Hellmuth on the button, who three-bet to 1,200,000. After some thought, Askeland moved all in for 4,600,000.

Hellmuth immediately pushed all his chips into the pot for a call, covering his opponent.

Ole Askeland: QJ All in
Phil Hellmuth: AA

The J49 flop was a sweat for Hellmuth, but his aces survived on the 2 turn and 8 river to nearly double up and send Askeland to the exit.
