Hellmuth Rivered

"I don't know if I should just limp or min-raise this" comments Phil Hellmuth before he decides to make it 300 to go.

Finding a caller in the cutoff, both players check the {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop to see Hellmuth lead out for 250 before the {3-Clubs} lands on the turn. His opponent calls and when the {8-Spades} lands on the river Hellmuth makes it 150 to go, only to be raised to 750.

Hellmuth quickly makes the call and tables {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, however it would be his opponent's {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to scoop the pot.

"You ran ten-eight into ten's kid! I told you you were in trouble!" sparked Hellmuth as he slips to 3,800 in chips.

A few hands later, Hellmuth's table broke and he was moved right alongside the rail - to the crowd's obvious joy!
