Can a Man Eat in Peace?

Level 13
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action folded to Bryce Yockey in the cutoff, who limped in. Ben Yu announced "pot," raising to 45,000 from the button. Yockey made the call.

As the Q52 flop hit the felt, Albert Daher, Ben Lamb, and Daniel Negreanu were all trying to stifle their laughter. The reason? Phil Hellmuth was working his way through a Bobby's Burger, and it looked like some sauce had made its way onto one of his signature tracksuits. Nothing a bit of Aquafina and a napkin couldn’t fix, as the 17-time bracelet winner cleaned himself up between bites.

Unaware of the scene he'd caused, Hellmuth kept eating, only for Negreanu to grab his selfie stick and record the moment. Hellmuth clocked the attention out of the corner of his eye, pausing mid-bite.

“Classic burger at the table,” someone quipped, while Negreanu called, “Napkins on 627.”

“Can a man eat in peace?” Hellmuth asked.

“You can’t,” Negreanu laughed, as Yockey took down the pot with a bet of 40,000 on the 8 turn after the flop had checked through, forcing a fold from Yu.
