Splat Goes the Brat

The final massage
The final massage
'Poker Brat' Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated from today's tournament. I only caught the very end of the hand, but Hellmuth is usually on hand to fill all and sundry in on the gory details.

However, a quick glance at the felt and the hand history was clear, Hellmuth finding himself all in with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} versus {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} on a something-for-everyone {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop. A {3-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river were of no use, and the eleven time bracelet winner was dust.

"This is why I don't like tournaments," joked Hellmuth as he showed the cameras the rockets that had failed to launch.

Like a true gentleman, Hellmuth shook the hands of his former foes, wished then good look, and headed to the rail.
