Wilkinson Puts Hellmuth Short, Deeb Finishes the Job
Phil Hellmuth's tournament has come to an end after a pair of hands.
First, after Hellmuth raised in early position, Wil Wilkinson three-bet him from the big blind, and Hellmuth called.
Wilkinson drew one, while Hellmuth needed two. Wilkinson then bet and got raised by Hellmuth. Again Wilkinson three-bet him and Hellmuth called.
Wilkinson patted and Hellmuth drew one, then after Wilkinson bet and Hellmuth again called, Wilkinson exposed his hand with a draw still to come.
Wilkinson showed 
and Hellmuth was forced to draw two. Hellmuth couldn't improve and mucked his hand with just 11,000 chips left.
Hellmuth managed to double up shortly after, but then had to get his final chips in pre-draw against Shaun Deeb from the small blind, versus Deeb's big blind.
Hellmuth drew two, then patted twice, while Deeb drew two, one, and then patted behind Hellmuth on the final round.
Phil Hellmuth: 
Shuan Deeb:
Deeb barely pipped Hellmuth on that final draw, eliminating him and boosting his own stack over 600,000.
