Hold it Down, Phil

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Phil Hellmuth hasn't been having the best level.

In a recent hand, the player in the hi-jack raised to 12,000 and Phil Hellmuth defended from the big.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and both players checked. When a {5-Clubs} came on the turn, Hellmuth checked again, prompting an 8,000 bet from his opponent. Hellmuth quickly called.

The river brought the {4-Spades} and Hellmuth checked a final time. His opponent deliberated, but eventually checked behind and tabled {3-}{4-} for a rivered pair of fours.

"God!" Hellmuth exclaimed, revealing the {Q-}{3-}.

"I had him drawing dead the whole way and he hits a seven-outer," Hellmuth fumed.

"I wouldn't call seven outs exactly drawing dead," his opponent retorted while scooping the pot.

"I just want to throw up right now," Hellmuth said.

Hellmuth is down to 140,000.
