Hellmuth Exits in 47th Place
Niveau 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth was down to less than five big blinds when he bet 600,000 in late position. Charles Hawes, one of the big stacks at the table, was at the hijack position and made the call. The button and blinds folded.
The dealer placed 9♥3♠3♣ on the board, leading to Hellmuth checking with less than 400,000 behind. Hawes bet enough to put Hellmuth’s tournament at stake, and Hellmuth quickly called.
Hellmuth: A♥10♦
Hawes: 7♠7♥
The 16-time WSOP bracelet winner needed help to stay alive, but K♠ on the turn and 9♣ sent him to the rail in 47th place for a payout of $7,385.
Hellmuth’s quest to secure a record 17th WSOP bracelet will need to wait for another event.
