We picked up the action on the flop in a five-way limped pot. The dealer put

Honey, I'm Steaming, Honey
Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
"Honey. I'm steaming, honey," Phil Hellmuth spoke to his wife on the phone. "Hang on, I gotta hold for a second." Hellmuth had to set his phone down to play a hand, but he returned to his conversation just a moment later.
"Honey, I'm steaming." After a pause, he continued, "Because I just folded ace-eight, and these guys are playing ace-six and ten-deuce. I flopped three people drawing dead there."
Hellmuth has about 18,200 chips left. And he's steaming, honey.
