"All They Do is Laugh"

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Phil Hellmuth led out for 4,000 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}, Ben Hamnett raised to what looked like 10,000, and the 13-time bracelet winner called.

The two checked when the {2-Spades} turned, and the {j-Diamonds} completed the board. Hellmuth checked a third time, Hamnett fired out 18,000, and the Poker Brat shot up out of his chair. Perplexed, he began mouthing possible scenarios.

"You have ace-jack and you got there?" he muttered just loud enough for Hamnett to hear.

He finally slid forward enough chips to call, then angrily mucked when Hamnett showed {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a flopped set. Hellmuth continued to steam after the hand, and all Hamnett could do was chuckle.

"That was so cold," Hellmuth sighed. "And all they do is laugh."
