Hellmuth Takes a Hit

Shortly after retaking his seat following the recent break, Phil Hellmuth raised to 16,000 and his opponent on the button reraised all-in for 62,500. Hellmuth quickly made the call and flipped up {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}, but the Poker Brat began whining just a bit when he saw his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

"Come on! Really?!" Hellmuth blurted before closing with "I just knew I was gonna bust this guy, he kept moving in on me and then he wakes up with queens!"

The final board ran out {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Hellmuth's jacks were second best. He shipped about one-fourth of his chips to the opponent, all the while lamenting his opponent's good fortune.
