Phil Hellmuth check-called on sixth street before check-calling on seventh street as well. Owen showed for an eight-low, and that set Hellmuth off.
"The f*** is going on. He f***ing did this to me in the last f***ing tournament. Run so f***ing bad."
Just when you thought he was cooling off, he launched off again.
"What the f***," he continued, "Play so f***ing bad. King-Four-Four; What the f***?
"F***ing motherf***er. What are they? F***ing goofy?"
