"It's Winner Take All, Kid"

It's first or go home here at Event No. 11, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.

Preflop, Chris Vaughn bet 850, and Phil Hellmuth reraised behind him to 2,250. As Vaughn thought about what to do, Hellmuth made a little speech:

"It's winner take all, kid," he began. "You raise every pot, so of course I come over the top with nothing."

Vaughn folded.
