With a raise to 600 and a call, Phil Hellmuth raised the action to 3,100.

The original raiser folded, before the opponent in the middle raised to put Hellmuth and his last 550 into the pot. Hellmuth obliged and the cards were tabled.

Hellmuth: {A-Clubs}

Opponent:

The flop of {6-Clubs}

changed little, but when the {10-Hearts}

fell on the turn Hellmuth was left drawing dead and immediately stood up to leave.

When the {4-Diamonds}

landed on the river Hellmuth muttered, "oh, it's so brutal" and climbed under the barrier past the many onlookers.
