Hellmuth Aggravated

I just caught the tail end of a {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} board, Hellmuth leading out for 2,950 and his neighbour making the call. The action halted on Filippo Candio who ummed and ahhed before joining the party.

"{Q-}{J-}," announced Hellmuth.

Candio showed {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the other player disposed of his hand.

Hellmuth mumbled under his breath before chucking his cards into the middle.

"I was in the small blind," defended Candio.

"It's OK," replied Hellmuth, "I would have played your hand too. I'm just aggravated, that's all."

Whilst an "aggravated" Hellmuth drops to 23,500, a triumphant Candio is now one of the chip leaders with around 80,000.
