Hellmuth vs Hellmuth?
Steve Diano is using a Phil Hellmuth card protector any time he's in a hand with Phil Hellmuth. The protector has gotten several laughs and although it may not be as epic as two Hellmuths playing heads-up H.O.R.S.E, it's as close as we'll ever come.
Hellmuth Saves
Preflop, Phil Hellmuth led out and Esther Rossi called from the big blind. The flop fell and Rossi checked-called Phil's bet. The turn brought the and Rossi fired first and Phil called. The fell on the turn and again Phil called a raise by Rossi.
Rossi showed for the nut flush with no low possible and Phil mucked, but not before saying "Queen high flush and nut low draw. Good thing I saved chips."
After the hand, Phil dropped a bit to 395,000.
