Phil Hellmuth...Being Phil Hellmuth

A bit frustrated after losing a few pots Phil Hellmuth announced to the table, "That's it, I'm raising every pot, I'm here to gamble". Under the gun he raised to 2,000 and had one caller before another player (with about 10,000 in his stack) raised to 7,500. Hellmuth pushed, the original caller folded, and the player who raised and who'd already committed about 3/4 of his chips...folded.

Hellmuth showed the {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and declaimed, "Who do you think you're playing? I can read them...I can read their souls. Not today baby, good luck bluffing me".
