PLO
With the board reading 
and Phil Hellmuth already all in on a previous street, two other players continued battling for a side pot which resulted in a three-way showdown.
The first player, who had bet 4,000 on the river, rolled over 
and the second player mucked. Hellmuth, sitting across the table, stood up, holding his hole cards. He pointed at the board and said, "What the f*** is this?" hardly meant as a question.
He threw the 
on the table while keeping the rest of his cards in his hand, and continued.
"How is this possible." Then he mumbled something about the worst players ever, followed by, "but they keep winning."
Hellmuth's opponent remained quiet.
"What were you drawing to? What did you think I had?" Hellmuth added.
Jen Harman pointed that her neighbor had a flush draw, and Hellmuth soon walked away from the table, ending his trademark rant.
