The Brat Disciplined

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After he opened to 16,000 from late position Phil Hellmuth watched the next player to act slide out a three-bet to 60,000.

When the action folded back around to him, Hellmuth went into the routine which made him a superstar, talking his way through a brief tank-fold.

"I mean, you just did that so smooth..." he said to the three-bettor. "I know how to lay this hand down though."

Hellmuth flashed his {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to the table, showing the restraint which defines his inimitable style of poker (on the felt at least, as restraint is something he rarely shows during his trademark rants). After entering Day 3 with one of the shortest stacks in the room, Hellmuth has picked his spots wisely and worked his way back to the realm of respectability, showing why he considers himself to be the best poker player to ever grace the planet with his presence.
