Hellmuth Finally Succumbs

Pot-Limit Omaha

Phil Hellmuth was doing his best to claw his way back into contention here in Event #46: $50,000 Poker Players' Championship, but a big pot-limit Omaha hand put an end to his comeback.

In what would be Hellmuth's final hand, Michael Mizrachi raised and Brandon Shack-Harris called. David Steicke then three-bet the size of the pot, and Hellmuth four-bet pot. Mizrachi called, Shack-Harris folded, and Steicke called. The flop saw Steicke get his remaining chips all in, Hellmuth did the same, and Mizrachi called to put both players at risk.

Steicke was ahead with two pair, and it held as the blanked on the turn followed by the on the river. Steicke took down the pot while Hellmuth was eliminated from the tournament.
