Hellmuth's Fall Complete

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth had over 130,000 just before dinner break. The 100 minutes that followed the break have been anything but kind to "The Poker Brat", and he just lost the last of chips to complete the slide.

Dario Minieri opened to 2,500 in middle position, and Phil Hellmuth made it 7,500 to go on the button. Francois Pelletant called in the big blind, and Minieri folded, so they went heads-up to a {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Pelletant came out betting 11,000, and Hellmuth immediately shoved all in for about 18,000. Pelletant called.

Hellmuth: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Pelletant: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

"Wow," was all Hellmuth could muster as he stared his Main Event elimination in the face.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}, leaving Hellmuth dead to a chop. The river was the {k-Clubs}.

After all the fire he spewed in the hands leading up to his final stand, Hellmuth took his exit with grace, shaking Pelletant's hand and heading for the exits without much to say.
