Hand #67
The button began with Brian Rast on this hand. Minh Ly started the hand under the gun and raised to 130,000. Matt Glantz was in the next spot and took his time as he generally does before making the call. Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind and then Owais Ahmed called from the big blind.
The flop came down four ways with only Rast sitting out. It came and Hellmuth was first up. He led out for 250,000 and Ahmed folded.

"Wow, I folded aces and sevens!" yelled Hellmuth as the dealer prepared to deal the turn and river.
The burn went down and then the hit the turn, giving Glantz a pair of tens, although keeping him behind. The river card was then dealt low and black with the
. Both fourth and fifth street missed Glantz and eliminated him in fifth place for $376,750. Ly won the hand and moved to 5.69 million in chips. Had Hellmuth stayed in the hand, his aces and sevens would have held up to give him a massive lead.
