Hellmuth Laments WSOP Main Event Misfortune

Nine-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion and author Phil Hellmuth has described his surprise at his elimination from the esteemed Main Event at this year�s WSOP event.

�After recently winning my 10th WSOP bracelet in a no-limit Hold�em event, I fancied my chances in the Main Event,� said Hellmuth, who was knocked out on the first day, in an article published at LJWorld.com. �I had some serious momentum, I had made the money in five Hold�em tournaments, and I knew that I was at the top of my game.�

But in a strange turn of events, Hellmuth ended up with A-Q against his opponent�s 7-7, an all too familiar position for the poker pro.

�In last year�s Main Event I had A-Q versus 7-7, with me sitting in the five seat, and my opponent sitting in the six seat,� explains Hellmuth. �Same deal this year, and that is some serious deja vu. Just not the kind of deja vu I like!�

�I only hope that my next article talks about me winning bracelet number 11!� continued Hellmuth optimistically.
