Hellmuth Strikes Out

Limit Hold'em

We got to Phil Hellmuth's table just in time to see Phil Hellmuth and another player all-in against Mike Layton on the board reading {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} before the cards were tabled:

Layton: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Hellmuth: {10-}{10-}
Opponent: {K-}{9-}

The river was a useless {4-Diamonds} and Layton scored the double-KO along with more than 16,000 in chips. Probably no point in mentioning that Hellmuth was upset about his elimination, but such is the nature of the "Poker Brat" beast.
