Phil Hellmuth Eliminated By Peter Nguyen

(Preflop and flop details provided by the dealer)

On the last hand before the break, Phil Hellmuth raises to 1,500 from UTG+1 and Peter Nguyen calls from the small blind.

The flop falls [Jh7d5h] and Nguyen checks to Hellmuth who bets 1,100. Nguyen check-raises to 3,700, Hellmuth clicks it back to 6,300, and Nguyen re-raises to about 9,300. Hellmuth calls, landing the [9c] turn. After a few moments, Nguyen announces he is all in and Hellmuth snap calls his remaining 20,000-ish in patented Hellmuth style.

Nguyen shows [JdJc] for flopped top set, leading Hellmuth’s flopped middle set of [7h7c]. The river delivers the [Qh], no help to Hellmuth.

Peter Nguyen – 78,000 (130 bb)
Phil Hellmuth – Eliminated
