On fifth street Ly got his last chips into the pot and Hellmuth called. Hellmuth turned over two pair, aces and queens, and Ly ended up with aces and sevens. Ly also missed his low draw, and he is eliminated.
Only Brian Rast (1st), Hellmuth (2nd) and Matt Glantz (6th) are still in the running for a back-to-back final table appearance.
