BREAKING: Phil Hellmuth Stone Bubbles $50M Gtd WSOP Paradise Super Main Event
Phil Hellmuth stone bubbled the largest guaranteed event in poker history this evening in the Bahamas, an exciting exclamation point on an action-packed Day 2 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Super Main Event.
Hellmuth was short with four players remaining in the $25,000 buy-in event and folded ace-high in the big blind to survive another orbit. After a few eliminations, he decided to gamble with his last 200,000 against Alex Keating with a better ace-high.
Keating had told Hellmuth earlier that he should even fold aces on the stone bubble. He likely wishes he would’ve listened. As captured by live reporter Adam Lamers, Hellmuth splashed in his final chips with ace-king and couldn’t survive a three-way all-in as Keating made a pair of sevens holding a suited connector.
The Poker Brat had an opportunity to chop a minimum cash as there were three other all-ins, but all ended in doubles. During all of this, reigning Player of the Year (POY) Scott Seiver cheered on the other all-ins in the hope that Hellmuth would be the sole bubble.
It’s been quite the day for Hellmuth, who earlier in the day busted a 25-plus big blind stack after calling off with an offsuit queen-deuce (reminiscent of a viral hand against Alex Foxen two years ago).
Day 2, which drew 254 new entries before the close of late registration, wrapped up with 207 players left, who will be joined by the 90 online players who will start tomorrow in the money.
The $25,000 buy-in event attracted a total of 1,378 entrants across four starting flights and Day 2 entries. Adding that with 600 online players, there were a total of 1,978 entrants for the Super Main Event. They needed 2,000 players to hit the guarantee and fell short by 22 players.
