Hellmuth Takes a Bad Beat to Bust
Livello 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
On a 
board, Phil Hellmuth checked to his opponent who fired 850. Hellmuth quickly moved all in for at least a few thousand more and his opponent decided to call. Hellmuth was in the lead with 
against his opponents 
. The turn was the 
and Hellmuth just had to avoid an Ace or a Jack on the river to double up. The last card came the 
and just like that Hellmuth was gone.
The table waited to see his reaction but he just moved his stack over to his opponent and got up. As the player tried to explain his call, Hellmuth simply said, "You did what you had to do," with a hint of sarcasm. After getting up from the table he let off a little steam with a couple of quiet expletives before exiting the tournament area.
