Mortensen on the Brink; Kessler Eliminated
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Phil Hellmuth is trying to grind it out here in Event 25. On the turn of a 
board, he bet after Carlos Mortensen checked. Mortensen called, then checked and called another bet on the 
river.
"Nut-nut," said Hellmuth. He opened 
, the nut flush and the nut low. Mortensen mucked and slipped to 16,000. Hellmuth is up to 78,000.
On a different table, Allen Kessler was recently eliminated. Looks like he'll be paying off that last-longer bet to Jean Robert Bellande.
