You Must Play the Cards You're Dealt

Shamus

Phil Galfond raised to 45,000, and Negreanu called from the button. Brian Rast then raised pot from the small blind to 204,000. Adam Hourani folded in the big blind.

Galfond thought for a bit and folded. Negreanu then took a moment to decide as well. "If I could change one of these cards," he said. He finally folded.

Phil Hellmuth Doubles Through Brian Rast

[user25067]

Brian Rast raised to 34,000, Hellmuth moved all in for his remaining 66,000 and Rast called.

Rast: {A-Spades}

Hellmuth:

Before the flop came down, Hellmuth crossed the table to shake his nemesis' hand and put on his leather jacket. The flop was {J-Spades}

, no help for Hellmuth. The turn, though, was the {K-Spades}

, making Hellmuth kings full of eights. The river was the {J-Diamonds}

and Hellmuth doubled up.

And the jacket comes back off as the Poker Brat retakes his seat...

[user25067]

Brian Rast opened for 44,000 and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind. The flop was {A-Hearts}

. Hellmuth checked, Rast bet 40,000, Hellmuth hemmed and hawed and gave some sort of speech before mucking {K-?}

face-up. Rast won the pot.

Hellmuth then proceeded to berate Rast for how he played as the dealer pitched out the next hand.
