Phil Plays Bad

Phil Hellmuth was in a hand with an unknown player at his table.

On seventh street Helmuth showed a board of {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} against his opponent's board of {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} . Hellmuth bet at the end and was instantly called. Hellmuth flipped over {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for a set of kings. His opponent mucked.

After the hand, Hellmuth remarked, "I play so bad."

Chen Frustrated; Leonidas on the Rise

Bill Chen had bet all the way before checking behind on sixth street with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} against Toto Leonidas' {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

They went to the river where Leonidas this time bet out and Chen made a crying call saying, "Aces," but his hand was no good against the ({6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}) {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} of Leonidas for a baby two pair.

Chen was visibly frustrated as he slipped below 20,000 for the first time today.

Meanwhile Leonidas is on the rise, soon after collecting another nice pot when he made a flush on sixth street to now sit with 31,800 in chips.

Daniel Negreanu just lost a hand to an unknown player in seat eight. Negreanu's opponent hit runner-runner for a seven-high straight. When the hand was rolled over, Phil Hellmuth said, "Dealer, when they're rolling over seven-high straights, deal me in."

Hellmuth Wanders; Prop Bets and Debts

Phil Hellmuth is doing the rounds of the tables again and has just dropped by the table of Barry Greenstein, Greg Raymer, Ted Forrest and Jeff Lisandro.

Hellmuth was overheard chatting to Forrest about the Mike Matusow weight-loss bet with Forrest saying, "Mike will definitely lose that bet money back to me some way!"

Raymer then comments that he should buy up somebody's owed debt which leads to Forrest replying, "...there should be a website - bidonpokerdebts.com - there would probably be a market for it!"
