Phil Hellmuth Is Eliminated

[user37786]

And while he was getting a massage, yet. Hellmuth raised to 450, there was a call, and Thomas Christianson raised to 1,550. Hellmuth moved in, the player caught in the middle called, and Christianson did as well.

It turned out we had a nice collection of pocket pairs--Phil turned over kings, the player in the middle had queens, and both found that they were way behind Christianson's aces. The bullets held up and Christianson now has around 18,000. Phil circled the table, shaking everyone's hand, before tipping the masseuse and heading out the door.
