Phil Hellmuth Bubbles to Queen-Ten in Hustler Casino Live Tournament
"He called a raise with queen-ten, honey!" You may remember Phil Hellmuth's epic rant during the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event after losing a big pot to Adam Levy, which saw Levy's queen-ten making a straight against Hellmuth's set of eights.
More than 15 years later and Hellmuth's opponents are still beating him with queen-ten. The latest offense took place during a $10,000 tournament on Hustler Casino Live on Monday night headlined by Hellmuth and influencer Bryce Hall.
On the money bubble with four players left, Hellmuth raised with A?9? as the first player to act before facing with a jam by Austin Arnold of Altcoin Daily in the big blind with Q?10?. Despite facing some speech play, Hellmuth mulled it over and called to put himself at risk.
Queen-Ten, Honey!
Hellmuth was ahead with ace-high and stayed in front after the J?6?2? flop, but the Q? turn gave Arnold a big lead as the 2? confirmed The Poker Brat's exit.
Unlike when he lost to Levy in 2008, Hellmuth kept his composure after missing out on a payday of at least $18,000. Still, he couldn't help himself from sharing some words.
"I'm the pro. I always have the best hand when the money goes in," Hellmuth said before leaving the table.
Arnold was the one who earned the $18,000 payday as he fell in third before a heads-up battle between professional fighter Luke Rockhold and poker streamer Jeff Gross. Rockhold finished runner-up for $27,000 as Gross secured the victory for $45,000.
| PLACE | PLAYER | PRIZE (IN USD) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jeff Gross | $45,000 | |
| 2 | Luke Rockhold | $27,000 | |
| 3 | Austin Arnold | $18,000 |
