Phil Felted (Finally)

Shamus

Phil Hellmuth

The big blind finally crept back around to Phil Hellmuth's seat, and he was all in. A player in middle position raised to 5,000. "Not him!" said Hellmuth. The rest folded, and his opponent turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

.

To increase the drama, Hellmuth turned over his cards one at a time. First, the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

. "At least it's a four," said Hellmuth, noting the live card. Then, the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

. "Yes! The four-seven!" The table laughed.

The board came {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

, and Hellmuth is out in 113th place, for which he earns $3,231.

That'll cover that $2,000 the Poker Brat now owes Roland de Wolfe (for losing their last-longer bet).
