Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 15th ($28,463); Noel Rodriguez Eliminated in 16th Place ($23,266)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Short-stacked Noel Rodriguez moved all in under-the-gun for 150,000 and action folded around to Phil Hellmuth and Ludovic Geilich in the blinds who both called.
On the flop of 6?Q?A?, Hellmuth led for 175,000 and Geilich responded by moving all in, which Helmuth snap-called to put himself at risk.
Noel Rodriguez: J?10?
Phil Hellmuth: Q?5?
Ludovic Geilich: 8?10?
Hellmuth was in the lead with his pair of queens, but the runout of 7?2? gave Geilich a flush on the river to scoop the pot and eliminate both players. A classic Hellmuth rant then ensued as the defending champ hit the rail in 15th after Rodriguez finished in 16th.
