Rigby Strikes Again and Knocks Out Hellmuth

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Feature Table Horseshoe Main Room, Phil Hellmuth
Feature Table Horseshoe Main Room, Phil Hellmuth

Over on the main feature table, Robert Jones raised to 2,500 with the K?K? and earned two calls as three players headed to the A?10?9? flop. It checked to the initial raiser and Jones bet-folded for 2,500 when Nicholas Rigby raised to 8,000 while Phil Hellmuth check-called out of the big blind.

That brought Rigby and Hellmuth to the 2? turn on which the latter checked. Rigby overbet 36,000 to create a pot of 64,400 and Hellmuth check-jammed for 94,500 to get called by Rigby.

Phil Hellmuth: 10?9?
Nicholas Rigby: A?10?

Hellmuth was in dire shape and the miracle escape never happened with the 5? river, sending Hellmuth to the rail in anti-climatic fashion. "Good game ... nice hand," Hellmuth said in the table chat and shook hands with Rigby before leaving the mothership.
