Hellmuth Blows Up

Phil Hellmuth

We have limited access to the feature but managed to just catch the end of a classic Phil Hellmuth tantrum. The board read {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Hellmuth's opponent flipped over {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight to take down a healthy pot as Hellmuth mucked his hand.

Hellmuth flipped out, berating his opponent for overplaying his hand before doing a lap of the studio area in disgust.

We'll have an updated chip count for you from this table as soon as we can.
