Hellmuth on the Rail
Niveau 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth raised to 41,000 in the small blind and from the big blind Jason Brazeau defended his big blind.
The flop came down 
and Hellmuth checked for Brazeau to bet 42,000 and Hellmuth to call.
The turn 
also went check-bet-call this time to the tune of 60,000.
The river came the 
which Hellmuth checked once more and Brazeau went all-in for 150,000 and that sent Hellmuth into the tank. After a few minutes, Joao Simao called the clock and he was left with 30-seconds to act on his hand. After about 15-seconds he called and Brazeau showed 
for a pair of eights. Hellmuth had 
for a pair of fives which was no good and the 16-time bracelet winner departed the tournament.
