Hellmuth Crippled

From my makeshift desk in one corner of the Face 2 Face room, I could hear Phil Hellmuth announce, "I'm all in," from another. I hustled over to the table just in time to see the dealer burn and turn the last community card.

Phil's {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} had been cracked by Philippe Dauteuil's {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, courtesy of a {2-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop, on which all of the money went in. Unable to get a reprieve from either the turn, or the river, Phil was left with less than 4,000 in chips.

"That's some fine dealing, baby," Phil said after the hand. "You've beat kings and queens in back-to-back hands," he complained.

"It wasn't a good sign when he insta-called," the 'Brat' added. "You've been playing like a maniac all day."
