Bad level for
Phil Hellmuth – The “Poker Brat” slipped down the counts after doubling up Scott Seiver. Hellmuth now had just seven big blinds!
Sam Trickett – The man who finished second in The One Drop for more than $10,000,000 misread Antonio Esfandiari’s stack and moved all in with pocket fours and ran into Esfandiari’s dominating pair of kings. Trickett received no help from the board and his tournament ended abruptly.
