Markus Gonsalves raised to 50,000 from the cutoff. Phil Hellmuth took his time on the button, took a good look at Gonsalves, then slid in a call. Grayson Ramage three-bet shoved 484,000 from the big blind.

Gonsalves folded but Hellmuth instantly picked up a stack of chips to call.

Grayson Ramage: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Phil Hellmuth: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

"Knew it," Gonsalves said.

There was a bit of sweat for the 14-time bracelet winner but the {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board ended up safe. Ramage received $15,726 for his 17th place.

Chance Kornuth: {Q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Steven Wolansky: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Spades} for Wolansky's high cards to hold and take out Kornuth in 18th place today.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Shawn Daniels
Shawn Daniels

Shawn Daniels was all in for 325,000 from early position and Phil Hellmuth came along from the big blind.

Shawn Daniels: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Phil Hellmuth: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

Daniels was in a terrible spot but found a silver lining on the {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop. The {K-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Markus Gonsalves, not involved in the hand, jumped out his seat in excitement, while Hellmuth remained icy calm.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Hellmuth made a flush with his ace of diamonds to knock out Daniels in 19th place.
