Williams Douses Hellmuth's Fire

David Williams
David Williams
On a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Jani Vilmunen bet 12,000, David Williams called, and Phil Hellmuth also called. The turn was the {8-Spades}. Vilmunen checked, Williams bet 50,000, Hellmuth called, and Vilmunen folded.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Williams bet 100,000, and Hellmuth went into the tank. After a couple of minutes of stewing, Hellmuth finally folded.

A Hellmuthian tirade followed, during which he saw fit to call Williams an "idiot." Williams reacted defensively, recounting to Hellmuth some of his previous play and discouraging him from making such accusations henceforth.
