Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth is a polarizing guy. The 14-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner has plenty of fans, but he also has more than his fair share of haters. During the 2018 WSOP Main Event, Hellmuth didn��t do himself any favors when he got involved in a controversial hand with James ��Camby�� Campbell (though he won some over when he later agreed to buy Camby into the 2019 WSOP Main Event).

On Day 3 of the 2018 WSOP Main Event, Hellmuth hit the rail in brutal fashion and it sent shockwaves through the poker world. Not waves of shock nor empathy, but rather a jubilation as many delighted in the Poker Brat��s misfortune.

Hellmuth��s demise came in Level 13 (1,500/3,000/500) at the secondary feature table, which was streaming on PokerGo. It happened when Steve Billirakis made it 6,500 from early position and Jans Arends three-bet to 19,000. Hellmuth then four-bet to 50,000, leaving himself just 500 behind. Billirakis folded, Arends moved all with ace-nine suited, and and Hellmuth called off with Big Slick.

Negreanu: ��Poor Philly, he��s gonna lose his mind.��

Hellmuth was in prime shape to double and get back in contention, but a nine spiked on the river to end his bid for another deep run in the Main Event. While Hellmuth��s dreams were crushed on this side of the Las Vegas Strip, players celebrated on the other.

��Lol the whole poker room @WynnPoker cheered louder than the World Cup game when Hellmuth gut eliminated from the main,�� Andrew White tweeted. Scott Seiver also revealed on Twitter that the Bellagio poker room also erupted in cheers, while others added the same thing happened at locales such as Arizona��s Talking Stick Casino and Iowa��s Horseshoe Council Bluffs.

Jans Arends is the man who did Hellmuth in.

The ��Bustout Heard Around the World�� even made it to Daniel Negreanu��s popular Vlog where ��Kid Poker�� captured the hand in real time via the stream and reacted. Leading up to it, Negreanu weighed in on Hellmuth��s tendency to issue challenges without backing them up.

��This Russian guy is going so hard at Hellmuth and Hellmuth does his patented, ��Oh yeah, you want to play me? Let��s play for $2 million,�� said Negreanu. ��Oh, stop with the bullshit Phil, you know you wouldn��t put up literally one f****** penny. He just talks a big game like he��s going to put up a bunch of money and when push comes to shove he tells you this, ��I��m going to get staked for 100% of it but you have to put up 100% of your money.�� Just all talk no action.��

After the bustout hand, which interrupted Negreanu��s rant, he chuckled: ��Poor Philly, he��s gonna lose his mind.��

Hellmuth, who did claim after getting it in he didn��t have a good feeling, kept his composure and shook hands with the entire table before departing.

��And that��s the end of Hellmuth so I guess I��ll be doing commentary with that guy,�� Negreanu added. You can watch Negreanu��s reaction in the video at the bottom of this article starting at the 7:32 mark.

Here��s a look at a couple other Tweets that were sent out after Hellmuth��s elimination:
