Phil Hellmuth Loses Chips and His Mind

[user22113]

Phil Hellmuth was steaming after losing a big pot on the last hand before the break. It was a four-way all in before the flop. Hellmuth had J-10-9-7 and he flopped two pair and a gutshot on a board of J-7-4. He ended up losing to two players who held A-A. They chopped the pot after the 3 fell on the turn and the 4 spiked on the river. Hellmuth's two pair was counterfieted and he went off. He let several F-bomb's fly.

Mike Sexton, Doyle Brunson, and Gus Hansen stood around the table and Hellmuth held court. He complained and Brunson smiled.

Hellmuth bought a double add-on and continued to complain. Brunson told Sexton to follow him to the VIP lounge to avoid the Hellmuthian tirade.

TD Jack Effel asked Sexton how things were going. Sexton said, "Buddy, they are gambling. But the rebuys are over now."
