Hellmuth Hits the Rail

Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth may have gotten a little too eager in a heads-up pot against Mikey Stoltz.

Stoltz was first to act after a flop of {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and was contemplating his action when Hellmuth said "Alright, I call you," and pushed his chips into the middle before Stoltz had bet. Stoltz then put his chips in the middle after Hellmuth's action, and the hands were turned up.

Stoltz: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Hellmuth: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players had a flush draw, but Stoltz also had a wheel draw, which hit when the board completed with the {5-Spades} and {4-Spades}.
