Hellmuth Beginning to Steam

Phil Hellmuth limped in from the button and Roberto Romanello called from the small blind. In the big blind, Yannick Bonnet raised to 4,200. Hellmuth called, and Romanello folded.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} and Bonnet fired 3,500. Hellmuth called. After the turn {7-Diamonds} and river {J-Diamonds}, both players checked. Bonnet showed the {A-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Hellmuth mucked.

After he mucked, Hellmuth began a quiet rant under his breath and mentioned he had king-queen. He stood up a paced a tiny ways away from the table before returning to the action, still mumbling to himself about the hand.

Romanello Gives Some More to Hellmuth

When we arrived at the table, Phil Hellmuth and Alessandro Meoni had all the money in on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. Hellmuth had the {A-Spades}{3-Spades} for a combo draw against the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for Meoni. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river was the {9-Diamonds} to give Meoni the double up.

Roberto Romanello seemed a little confused with what had happened and asked Yannick Bonnet what happened preflop. Bonnet informed him that there was a raise from Meoni, a call from Hellmuth and then Bonnet three-bet. Romanello took this information and asked Hellmuth what he was doing in a big pot on the flop after calling a three-bet preflop with ace-three of spades.

Hellmuth didn't like that Romanello was getting on his case a bit after losing. "They always come after you after you lose a pot," he said out loud. "You're a real classy guy, real classy."

"I was just wondering what you're doing in that pot after it was three-bet preflop to 7,500 and you had ace-three of spades," needled Romanello.

"You're a real classy guy," was all Hellmuth could add as he slipped his headphones back on and went to the next hand.

Hellmuth Has a Four

Phill Hellmuth
Phill Hellmuth

After Alessandro Meoni raised to 2,500 on the button, action folded to Phil Hellmuth in the big blind.

"I'm going to raise you to 6,000," said Hellmuth, tossing in the chips to do so. Meoni called to see a flop.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Hellmuth led for 7,000. Meoni called and the dealer placed the {8-Hearts} on the turn. Both players checked.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Hellmuth took a minute to squeeze his cards. He then checked. Meoni reached for chips right away and get 8,800.

"How much? Eight-eight?" Hellmuth asked. He then tossed in the call.

Meoni turned up the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a busted straight draw.

"King-ten high?" quipped Hellmuth. "I have a four," he continued as he turned up the {4-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Hellmuth won the pot with his two pair and moved to 85,000 in chips.
