Hennigan Shows Hellmuth the World

While walking around we noticed a growing hand between John Hennigan and Phil Hellmuth who seemed to be in quite the talkative mood. Hennigan started the hand off by making it 600 from early position. When action rolled around back to Hellmuth he put out a raise and mandated it be 1,800 to see a flop. Hennigan took his time before announcing raise and making it 5,300 total. This ignited Hellmuth and the talking began,

The Poker Brat announced to the table with what appeared genuine glee that "I love this!". The ever so silent Hennigan remained stoic while Hellmuth continued his playful rant.

"Either its queens, ace-king, or your dead" pause "One of these three" continued Hellmuth. After a while of pondering Hellmuth deposited his cards face up on the table showing everyone {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, his favorite hand.
