Hellmuth Hath No Fury Like a Twice-Almost-12-Bracelet-Winner Scorned

Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth and the player on the button were heads-up to the flop of {9-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} when our field reporter stopped by; Hellmuth checked to the button player who opened the betting, then he called Hellmuth's check-raise before leading out on both the turn of the {K-Diamonds} and the river {J-Spades}.

The button called him all the way, but Hellmuth was quick to point out that he had taken down the pot.

"Nuts," he said as he tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for Broadway. Yep, that'd do it.
