Hellmuth Falling Fast

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Phil Hellmuth limped from early position (the third-consecutive hand in which he was seen limping in), the player in the cutoff raised to 4,200, and Hellmuth called.

They checked to the turn of a {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} board, where Hellmuth bet 4,000. His opponent called. The {8-Hearts} river completed the board, Hellmuth bet 5,300, and his opponent called.

Hellmuth showed {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for sevens and deuces, but his opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for eights and deuces to win the pot.

"That seems fair," muttered Hellmuth.
