Low Flop No Good for Hellmuth

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up with 13-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth as he faced a pre-flop raise to 400. He quickly called, as did the big blind. The flop fell {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. The blind checked, and the original raiser continued for 650. A frustrated looking Hellmuth shook his head and verbally announced "fold," though he kept his cards under a small stack of chips. The last remaining player in the hand folded as well, and as the pot was being pushed to the winner, Hellmuth opened his hand to show {a-}{q-}. After the hand, the poker brat is back down to a starting stack of 9,000.
