No-Limit Hold'em
On the first hand, Hellmuth raised to 36,000 from the cutoff seat and Bill Chen made it 100,000 to go from the small blind. Action got back to Hellmuth and he folded, showing the Chen showed him pocket tens.
On the next hand, Hellmuth rasied to 36,000 from the hijack seat and kept up with his aggressive ways. From the big blind, Luke Schwartz reraised all in. That sent Hellmuth into the tank for a couple of minutes.
Hellmuth had under 200,000 behind and tanked for quite some time, swapping back and forth between standing up and sitting down while tanking.
"You have to do that with ace-jack, right?" Hellmuth questioned.
"Have you got ace-jack? responded Schwartz. "No, you'd have folded ace-jack by now," he continued.
"You think any ace is good," came back Hellmuth.
"No, you know I have a hand," responded Schwartz.
Hellmuth began to start folding his hand and Schwartz begged him to show his cards. "You know if I show ace-jack or ace-queen, you are just going to show ace-ten. I can't handle that right now," Hellmuth said as he tossed his hand in without showing it.
Hellmuth dropped to under 200,000 while Schwartz moved to 740,000.

Phil Hellmuth is boiling after a hand he wasn't event involved in. Luke Schwartz has been driving the 12-time World Series of Poker champion a bit crazy with his table antics, and Hellmuth's short stack isn't helping him with staying calm.
2-7 Triple Draw
From the hijack, David Oppenheim raised and Bill Chen three-bet from the cutoff. Luke Schwartz was in the small blind and called, as did Oppenheim.
Schwartz and Oppenheim drew two cards while Chen only needed one. The action was checked to Chen, who bet and saw Schwartz raise. Both Oppenheim and Chen called, and three players went to the second draw.

Oppenheim showed 
and beat Chen's 
. Hellmuth was far from happy with the way Schwartz was holding up his cards and uttered the following words.
"This is the $50K Championship, not some $100 homegame!" Hellmuth said to Schwartz as he called the floor over. Schwartz was holding his cards up so the rail could see them, which Hellmuth didn't like. Right now, it seems Hellmuth is a bit more on edge, so we'll be playing close attention to his table.
