Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 2nd Place ($272,233)
Although it was Phil Hellmuth that eliminated John Racener in 3rd place, it was Eric Rodawig that crippled him the hand before and took most of the chips into heads-up play. Hellmuth started the final match at almost a 3:1 deficit with just 1.3 million to Rodawig’s 3.7 million, and just a few hands into the match and Rodawig was able to quickly extend his lead to more than 7:1.
Hellmuth fought back and began to chip up a bit before scoring a double up and putting himself right back in the running with 1.3 million to 3.7 million again. Hellmuth then lost a huge pot to Eric Rodawig’s trip threes and found himself down to just 300,000.
He quickly doubled up with a scoop after making a pair of aces and an eight-low and then doubled again with queens-up to crack Rodawig’s aces. Hellmuth’s luck would soon run out and on the final hand of the night, Hellmuth three-bet all in for 280,000 on third street and Eric Rodawig called.
