Hellmuth Sends Nazar to the Payout Desk
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
A player raised in early position before Hugo Nazar jammed his 140,000 in the middle. Phil Hellmuth was in the big blind and quickly announced a raise to 350,000, forcing the original raiser out of the pot.
Hugo Nazar: A?7?
Phil Hellmuth: A?Q?
Hellmuth had Nazar dominated and the J?6?3?A?A? board gave both players trip aces, but Hellmuth's queen kicker played to eliminate Nazar from the tournament.
