One Way to Play Tight

With the board reading {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, a player bet 1,500 and Phil Hellmuth came over the top for 2,075 more. The other player called and found he was crushed by Hellmuth's pocket Kings. "This is why I'm the best!" Hellmuth said. "That's the third hand I've played in 3 hours."

And David "DevilFish" Ulliott dryly observed, "You weren't even here for the first two and a half hours."

"What'd you think I was gonna do, Fish?" Hellmuth said. "You steal the chips, and I get the nuts!"
