Hellmuth on Life Support
It's not looking good for Phil Hellmuth to add another WSOP cash to his record. He three-bet two hands in a row pre-flop and wound up losing them both. First, his three-bet from the small blind was called by Michael how, Chino Rheem and Oleg Shamardin. Hellmuth folded on the turn of a board. Chow eventually dragged the pot with a single uncalled bet on the river, then remarked that he had the nut-nut. His comment prompted Hellmuth to mutter and wonder how Chow could even have been in the hand pre-flop.
The very next hand, Hellmuth three-bet from the button and remarked, "Watch out, I might be tilting, three-betting two hands in a row." He eventually lost the pot to Jose de Paz, who rivered a better two pair on a board of with against Hellmuth's flopped two pair with . The predictable Hellmuthian rage followed.
Hellmuth has 10,000.
