Brunson And Hellmuth Out Of The World Poker Classic
Doyle Brunson and Phill Hellmuth are the latest high-profile casualties at this year's World Poker Classic at the Bellagio. The grand finale of the World Poker Tour has a prize pool of $15 million, and players like Johnny Chan and Men The Master Nguyen are still in contention.
There are currently 42 players left in the 4th annual Five Star World Poker Classic, and all of them are bearing down hard on a potentially massive payday. The chip leader is Simon Moussa with $2,800,000 in chips.
Earlier today Jennifer Harman was eliminated after suffering a brutal beat when her pocket Aces were cracked by an opponent's J9. The J9 went all-in and was confidently called by Harman. The board brought a 9 and a J to cripple her stack, and moments later her TT was upended by AK.
If you're looking for a poker hottie to cheer on the obvious selection has to be Evelyn Ng who is still alive and well in the event. She has $1,000,000 in chips in front of her and has played well here. Can a woman win it all? Unlikely, but only time will tell.
David Williams was also eliminated today after a strong showing throughout the event. His AK failed to improve against pocket 5s.
