The self-proclaimed “Poker Brat” was eliminated midway through Day 2c.
Busted @WSOP Main Event. Kudos to @mn_kvang, who made a great call against me, then, when I whined way too much and crossed the line, he bought me a smoothie!! Class act...

Immediately after busting, I wanted to have a few drinks, but I never drink after I bust the @WSOP Main Event or any other important tourney: settled for double stuff Oreos cookies!! And hopped into the @WSOP online Tourney (bracelet tourney). My name is “Lumestackin”

In his exit interview with Kara Scott via PokerGO, Hellmuth offered this:
"I don't really have anybody to blame. Never really got started. I made one reckless bluff - a guy made an amazing call on me. But that's on me," Hellmuth told Scott. "Because in the Main Event you're dealing with people that just don't play very often, and so when you try something sophisticated, it's very difficult to get away with it. So then you have to own it. That's on me."
