Hellmuth Goes Bust

Phil Hellmuth

Raphael Zimmerman raised to 3,500 from under the gun. Action folded over to Phil Hellmuth in the big blind and he moved all in for 18,500. Zimmerman made the call. Both players then drew one card.

Zimmerman showed {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} and drew a {7-?}. Hellmuth showed {9-?} {8-?} {5-?} {3-?} and knew he was drawing dead. His draw card was a {10-?}. Hellmuth jerked himself up from his seat while the massage therapist was quick to get out of the way so she wouldn't get knocked over. Hellmuth stood and stared at the middle of the table for a minute before Tony G looked over.

"What! What happened? Did you bust, Phil?" said Tony. "Oh no, take a picture, quick"

"I don't want to hear it, Tony," Phil said. "You can stop trying to get attention, there's no press around, Tony." He went on to say, "I just bubbled, I don't want to hear it right now."

Tony G stood up and walked over by Phil's table, "No, the good news is you didn't bubble, I'm going to bubble. If you wait, you'll see it, and we can hold hands and walk out together."

Phil tossed his jacket on and collected his belongings before exiting the room, finishing just two spots off the money.
