Phil Hellmuth raised to 6,000 from the small blind and he was promptly three-bet by Paul Lee in the big blind to 30,000. Georgios Kitsios moved all in from middle position for his remaining amount of about 70,000.
It folded back around to Hellmuth who went on a mini-rant about what he was about to fold before laying it down. Lee immediately called the all in and turned over which was dominating the 
of Kitsios.
The run out brought a little sweat as three hearts appeared on a 
run out before a blank 
secured the Greek's elimination and Lee pulled in new chips as Hellmuth looked on glad that he did indeed fold.

A story of an odd hand was retold by Jarod Einsohn. According to him the player in seat 1 under the gun bet 80,000 of his stack of 85,000, leaving just 5,000 behind. Einsohn made the call from under the gun plus 2.
However Einsohn believed that the player had moved all in so he exposed his hand after making the call when everyone else had folded. He exposed . The flop came 
. The player in seat 1 checked and Einsohn bet all in to force the player to put in his last 5,000. But instead the player folded his hand. Effectively handing Einsohn 80,000 free chips.
The player was already gone from his chair when the story was relayed, clearly having busted in subsequent hands.
