"I'm Happy Phil Likes Me"

Chad Holloway

We stumbled upon Table 409 just in time to see Phil Hellmuth and Eli Elezra tangling.

Hellmuth: {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades} / {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Elezra: {K-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} / {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Hellmuth had bet fourth street and then checked to Elezra, who nonchalantly said, "Bet." Hellmuth toiled over the decision before flashing his hole cards and conceding the hand. "Ace-king high is the best hand," Elezra said with a smile as he showed his own hole cards. "I'm happy Phil likes me. If Phil didn't like me he was going to go all the way."

It's also worth noting that former WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Lisandro, who won three stud-variation bracelets in 2009, was also at the table earlier before he met an untimely demise.
