Rigby Strikes Again and Knocks Out 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.
