Phil Hellmuth Bubbles Wsopp Super Main Event 47613.htm Pokernews 🕒 2 🗒️ 373

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.
