Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Shulman - 5th place
Nick Shulman - 5th place

Phil Hellmuth is on an absolute tear through this event.

Nick Schulman opened the last pot to 50,000, and Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 340,000. That had Schulman covered, and he didn't waste any time calling all in for 250,000 total. Hellmuth patted, turning up the hand to beat: {J-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. Schulman needed one card to improve his {8-}{6-}{4-}{2-}. He squeezed it out, and it was no good. He sent the {8-Diamonds} spiraling onto the felt face-up, and a pair is not going to get it done.

With that, the 2009 champion of this event is eliminated in fifth place. He'll take home nearly $70,000, pausing to wish the table luck as he headed off to the cashier.

Hellmuth is up to about 2.4 million now with just about 2/3rds of the chips in play.
