Smith Leaves Hellmuth Fuming and on Fumes
Phil Hellmuth and Shawn Smith went heads-up blind on blind to a 
flop when Hellmuth called a bet.
Both players checked the 
turn before Hellmuth, changed from his Darth Vader custume into a black and yellow jersey, put out a 25,000 green chip and announced 12,000 on the 
river.
Shawn came back with a raise to 30,000 and sent the 16-time bracelet winner into the tank for several minutes.
"Three threes," Hellmuth asked.
"No, not that," Smith replied.
"Three queens," Hellmuth continued as he pondered the decision for most of his stack.
He eventually flicked in a call as Smith showed 
for the runner-runner wheel. Hellmuth turned over 
before throwing them into the muck, burying his head in his hands as he's been knocked down to a severe short stack an hour into his Main Event.
