Cooler for Hellmuth

Level 23 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Just minutes ago, things were looking great for Phil Hellmuth. He had just won a pot against Alexander Lakhov with {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and had held firm against betting on multiple streets on an {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board.

He barely had time to enjoy those chips before he found himself on the dark side of a cooler against table shortie James Worth.

Playing only three-handed, it was no surprise to see all the chips fly into the middle preflop and Worth was the massive favorite when the cards were turned on their backs.

James Worth {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Phil Hellmuth {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop brought a gutshot for the wheel straight, which would chop the pot. The turn was a {7-Diamonds} and it added another four straight outs to chop. The {8-Diamonds} didn't get there for Hellmuth and he had to count out 101,000 chips to pass to Worth.
