Boucher Finds a Chop Against Hellmuth

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Phil Hellmuth moved all in over the top of a raise and Philippe Boucher reraised all in to get heads up. Hellmuth showed the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and was dominating the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

When the {Q-Diamonds} came out in the window, Hellmuth shot out of his chair. It was followed by the {J-Spades} and {10-Diamonds}, though, to give Hellmuth a Broadway straight.

Boucher began to count out chips from his stack to send over to Hellmuth, but then the {K-Spades} landed on the turn and gave him a chop. Boucher began jumping up and down around the table, cheering with joy as he just came back to chop the pot with Hellmuth. Hellmuth was walking going the table with a different demeanor, sulking and ranting.

"This guy just shipped 100 dimes with ace-queen after I moved in for the first time in 10 hours!" yelled out Hellmuth.

"You have 10 big blinds!" responded Boucher.

"Oh yeah, there's always a reason. Always a reason against me," came back Hellmuth.

Another few moments passed before, "Damn!" Hellmuth exclaimed. "Is this for real?!?!" he continued as he ventured around by pacing.

Hellmuth then returned to his chair and began talking out loud to himself. "What am I talking about? This happens everyday; everyday at the World Series they just try to give me their money!"

Hellmuth then began to collect himself. "What am I talking about? It's time to win!"
