Vieira Eliminates Hellmuth, Then Knocks Out Mercier

Livello 17

Razz

Phil Hellmuth: Ax7x/Kx4xKx9x/Xx
Joao Vieira: Ax4x/6x9xJx8x/Xx

Vieira completed with a six. Action folded around to Hellmuth, who upgraded his bring in to a call. "This is so sick," said Hellmuth.

"I've seen sicker," quipped tablemate John Hennigan.

The last of Hellmuth's chips made their way in on fourth street and the cards were revealed. With one card left to come, Hellmuth would need to improve to overcome Vieira's made nine-eight. He quickly turned over his final card, a Jx, and wished everyone luck as he exited the tournament area.

Vieira's ascent up the leaderboard did not end there, though, as Jason Mercier exited just a couple of hands later at the hands of Vieira.
