Brad Ruben: XxXx / 3♣A♥8♠ - folded on fifth street
Ali Eslami: XxXx / 2♠Q♣Q♦Q♠

Hellmuth bet again on fifth after he was checked to. Ruben folded, Eslami raised, Ashton folded, and Hellmuth called.

Eslami led on sixth after he made open trips. Hellmuth immediately stood up from his chair, paced in a circle, and began to flick his cards in anger.

"I come here and I watch these goofballs...puts in three bets with the queen of diamonds."

"Check-raises me then hits a two-outer...what the f**k!"

Hellmuth would go on for over three minutes as the floor prepared the three-table redraw.
