Level 24: 10,000-20,000, 3,000 ante
After taking a moment or two to compose himself, Hellmuth returns to the tournament area and the crowd offers him a rousing round of applause. He takes the time to sign Seth's t-shirt, waves to the crowd and makes his exit. He doesn't leave the casino just yet though and is currently hobknobbing with fans in the area just outside the stage. His lifecoach, Sam Chauhan, is also in the crowd.

Phil Hellmuth completes the small blind to 20,000, Andy Seth raises from the big blind to 80,000, and Hellmuth reraises to 280,000. Seth thinks for a bit before he moves all in, and Hellmuth calls with Q
Q
. Seth shows A
J, and he'll need to improve to bust Hellmuth and claim his bounty.
Seth says, "We need two clubs here, just for the sweat."
The flop comes K65, and Hellmuth retains the lead. The turn card is the 10
, giving Seth additional outs to a gutshot straight.
The river card is -- the A.
The crowd explodes in reaction, while Hellmuth just sits at the table, stunned. Hellmuth slowly takes off his sunglasses, takes a deep breath, and shakes hands with the other players at the table.
Then Hellmuth steps off the stage, kneels down, and drops down to the floor in a little ball. The other players expected a blowup, but not this. Someone asks if he needs a doctor, and Seth asks, "Do you think he'll sign my bounty shirt?"
Hellmuth finally gets up, and walks over to one of the WPT producers to tape his exit interview.
If it hasn't been mentioned, Andy Seth wins the pot with a pair of aces, and he also claims the bounty on Shooting Star Phil Hellmuth -- his fourth of the tournament, passing Mclean Karr who busted three Shooting Stars. In addition to a large pot, Seth earns $5,000 and a t-shirt that may or may not be autographed.

The river card is the K, Karr checks, Hellmuth says "One-ninety" as he tosses out 190,000, and Karr says, "That's a pretty confident one-ninety, Phil."
Karr thinks for more than 30 seconds before he calls, and Hellmuth says, "I got nothing." Karr shows QJ to win the pot with trip queens.

Level 23: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Hasan Habib raises from the cutoff to 41,000, Phil Hellmuth reraises from the button to 170,000, and Seth says, "I'm all in" from the small blind. Habib immediately folds, and Hellmuth tanks.
Hellmuth starts talking. "Is this the time, kid? Is this the time I'm supposed to get a million from you? I feel like you're weak, like you don't have your heart in it." He thinks a bit more, and then addresses Faraz Jaka in the crowd. "This is gonna be one heck of a call, Faraz." (Hellmuth became friends with Faraz when they played together on Day 2, and really respects his game. Faraz and Andy Seth are very close friends.)
After two minutes, Hellmuth folds, and Andy Seth takes the pot.

Andy Seth raises under the gun to 42,000, Phil Hellmuth reraises from the big blind to 127,000, and Seth reraises to 267,000.
Hellmuth stops to think, and starts talking to Seth about his eagerness to get it all in, in a lecturing tone. There will definitely be some great table talk and antagonism at this final table when it airs on TV.
After about 30 seconds, Hellmuth folds, and Andy Seth takes the pot.
