Hellmuth First Eliminated Of The Day
The tournament restarted for less than 15 minutes, and Phil Hellmuth is already the first player to leave the scene. He lost two big hands in row, in Stud 8 or Better, against Nick Guagenti and Warwick Mirzikinian.
On the first hand he lost, he made a straight but Guagenti had a higher straight. On the hand just after, he played another big pot.

Hellmuth bet fifth street, and both Park and Mirzikinian called. Then on sixth street, Mirzikinian bet and only Hellmuth called, to see seventh. Mirzikinian bet again and Hellmuth tanked for a while with only 21,000 left. He finally made the fold and looked at second pot in row slipping away from him.
Andre Akkari took the last of him when the Brasilian made Aces and Sevens on the very next hand, and Phil Hellmuth was eliminated.
