Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 16th Place ($15,385)

Level 19 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth raised from the hijack and Shaun Deeb defended the big blind.

On the {J-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Deeb checked, Hellmuth bet, Deeb raised and Hellmuth went into the tank.

As Hellmuth was thinking, Ben Yu from the table over was reading the hand that set Hellmuth off out loud as the remaining players and rail laughed.

Hellmuth eventually raised all in and Deeb called the 5,000 more.

Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Deeb: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Deeb was ahead with his pair of sixes and Hellmuth would need to improve to stay alive.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn was of no help to Hellmuth nor was the {9-Diamonds} on the river and he was eliminated.

Deeb went over to Hellmuth and wished him a good game and Hellmuth exited the tournament area quietly.

Deeb Said Knock Yu Out

Shaun Deeb walked over to Ben Yu's table and was encouraging the other table to knock Yu out.

"Who?" someone asked.

"My nemesis," answered Deeb with his hands on Yu's shoulders.

After some discussion about Yu, Deeb, and Chan were joking about where each would finish.

"I'll take third," said Yu.

"If I'm three handed with you two, I'm just going to leave the table and claim collusion," said Deeb, "that's my only shot."

"What was your first bracelet Ben?" asked Deeb.

Yu held his arms up, "this is the Ben Yu Invitational."

Yu's first bracelet was in this event two years ago. The defending Champion, Ian Johns is sitting at the same table as Chan and Yu.

"This year it's the Ian Johns Invitational," said Chan.

"Ian doesn't care about attention so they don't name things after him," replied Yu.

Deeb and Yu finished first and second in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw just before joining this tournament yesterday. Yu defeated Deeb heads-up to win his second WSOP bracelet.

Phil Hellmuth (Sort of) Calls Ray Henson's Hand

Level 19 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth limped under the gun and Tom McCormick called before Ray Henson called from the button. Aaron Sacks checked his option.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and all four players checked. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and Sacks checked before Hellmuth bet. Henson and McCormick both called.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and Hellmuth bet again. McCormick folded and Henson took a moment before making his decision.

Hellmuth offered up one of his classic phrases.

"I'll take this one, you take the next one."

Henson called.

"King jack," Hellmuth said.

Henson turned over {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} at the same time Hellmuth threw out {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

"Did you think he was calling out your hand?" Shaun Deeb asked Henson.

"Yes. I did."

Henson and Hellmuth chopped the pot.

On the {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, McKeehen led out, Hellmuth raised and McKeehen called.

McKeehen check-called Hellmuth's bet on the {3-Hearts} turn.

On the {Q-Hearts} river, McKeehen took the lead again and Hellmuth called.
