A brutal river card sent Phil Hellmuth home on Day 3 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event short of the money.
The Poker Hall of Famer joined defending champion Jonathan Tamayo and Johnny Chan among the past winners who've been felted on Tuesday. Tamayo lost a race, and Chan, who lost heads-up in the Main Event to Hellmuth in 1989, had his stack dwindled to nothing. But neither of those poker greats went out in such a cruel fashion as the "Poker Brat" did on the feature table.

The field has been whittled down to just 1,965 after two levels of play on Day 3 of the Main Event. Everyone has been sent on a 75-minute dinner break and will return to blinds of 3,000/5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000.
The cards are expected to be back in the air at around 8:15 p.m. local time. Here are some highlights from the previous level.
Francis Kelly made it 8,000 from early position before Valentyn Shabelnyk three-bet to 22,000 from middle position. Jonathan Wolter cold four-bet to 50,000 from the button, which only Shabelnyk called.
Shabelnyk checked the 5♣K♣4♣ flop and Wolter bet out for 12,000. Shabelnyk check-raised to 70,000, and after a few moments, Wolter called.
The J♣ appeared on the turn and Shabelnyk led out for 25,000. Wolter decided he wanted to play for more as he raised to 55,000. Shabelnyk made the call.
A board-pairing 4♦ came on the river and Shabelnyk jammed his 188,500 into the middle. Wolter, who had only slightly more than Shabelnyk, went deep into the tank. After a few minutes of thinking, Wolter apologized if it was a "nit roll" before making the call.
Shabelnyk showed a flopped flush with Q♣10♣, but was eliminated by Wolter who held A♣K♥ for the ace-high flush.
