Hellmuth, Johnson Clash
Level 17
Stud
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/K♠6♠5♦
Marco Johnson: XxXx/10♦7♥5♠
Phil Hellmuth completed and was called by Marco Johnson.
Hellmuth bet on both second and third streets, each time getting called by Johnson. On fourth street, Hellmuth bet once more but this time Johnson decided to raise. After a short speech, Hellmuth relinquished his holding to send the pot to Johnson, who showed the table the 10♥.
The friction evident between Johnson and Hellmuth earlier persisted after the hand, with Hellmuth suggesting Johnson was trying to go broke. Johnson responded by pointing to his newly acquired chips, saying "does it look like I went broke?"
