I'm Trying To Prove I'm The Second Worst

[user76023]

I can't dodge Sherkhan, baby.

Phil Hellmuth was all in on a {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

flop and was instantly called by Sherkhan Farnood who turned over {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

against Hellmuth's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

.

Sherkhan, "I don't mind if you hit a king, good luck." And the pair shook hands. The {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and

{3-Spades}

sent Hellmuth to the rail and Matusow shouted out, "Who busted you? Sherkhan?"

At that point, due to Hellmuth's earlier rants, about three or four people said, "The worst player in the world?" To which Sherkhan replied, "I'm trying to prove I'm only the second worst." It was the second tournament Farnood had eliminated Hellmuth from, following the latter's exit in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament a few days ago.

Hellmuth left, followed by the entourage of cameras with little histrionics, though not without complaining he had hardly won a pot all day.
