Hellmuth Upset

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Under the gun, Phil Hellmuth raised to 400 and the player to his left made it three bets. A player in the cutoff, who has an enormous cooking hat on, flatted and Hellmuth called.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Hellmuth bet, the player to his left called, the player in position made it two bets which allowed Hellmuth to make it three. This isolated the hand to the player with the cooking hat who called.

The turn came the {9-Clubs} and Hellmuth bet. His opponent called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Hellmuth opted to check call this time. His opponent held {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a full house and Hellmuth started to rant. He showed down his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and was notably frustrated by the hand.

After losing another, smaller, pot on the very next hand, he is down to about 7,400
