Hellmuth Busts to Arends

Over on the secondary feature table, Steve Billirakis made it 6,500 to go from early position and Jans Arends three-bet to 19,000. Phil Hellmuth four-bet to 50,000 and left himself 500 behind out of the blinds, which forced out Billirakis. Arends moved all in and Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth was in prime shape to score another double soon after the previous one, and the flop was no threat. On the turn, Hellmuth only had to fear the remaining three nines in the deck, however, the fell on the river and that ended Hellmuth's bid for another deep run in the Main Event.

The record 14-time WSOP bracelet winner left the table with a smile on his face and shook hands with all opponents before leaving the feature table area.
