Phil Hellmuth
had the opportunity, from 2nd chip position at the start, to get his record
eigth Bracelet and at very least move back into the
all time money lead that he had lost to TJ
in the first event. From the get-go of the final Hellmuth was put under
pressure by a strange check-raise move on the part of Shulman. Shulman had
nothing at the time but made an inside straight on the river to win. Hellmuth
could not stop thinking or talking about it and played a few more hands a bit
too far.
Quickly Hellmuth got himself all-in having made trip 8s on the
flop only to see the original better hit trip Queens on the turn and take him
out 8th. Short on the money lead.
Micky Appleman (3 times a winner here
with 29 cashes in total) made great use of a tiny stack entering the final and
got it all the way to 5th spot, never quite getting into level territory with
the leaders.
Cernuto was a solid performer who got the best cards and
milked the hands. His win was not in question at any time. Previous event - Next
