Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 8th Place ($45,022)
Level 25
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth's quest to win his 14th WSOP bracelet continues as he has busted from Event #15.
Hellmuth opened to 80,000 from under the gun, leaving himself with less than 50,000 behind. Gordon Vayo was in the big blind and when it folded to him, he moved all-in. Hellmuth called and the cards flipped onto their backs.
Hellmuth: 
Vayo: 
The spectators on the rail leaned in to try get a better view of the board which run out 
to improve Vayo to a pair of sevens and to bust Hellmuth in eighth place.
"Eight flips in a row I've lost," said Hellmuth as he exited the tournament area.
