Short and not so Sweet for Hellmuth

[user76079]

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth didn't hang around too long as he just busted to Hasan Anter.

These two players and Tobias Reinkemeier saw a {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} {10-Spades} flop. Reinkemeier led out for 500 from the BB and Hellmuth raised this up to 1,000 from mid position. Anter wasted little time in check-raising all-in for around 9,500 from the small blind. The German folded but Hellmuth had a harder decision.

"I can beat a lot of hands", said Hellmuth. "I can't beat a set though", he continued.

He eventually called off his remaining 5,050 to find out his initial instincts were correct. Anter tabled {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} for middle set, beating Hellmuth's {a-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} . The board ran out {9-Spades} {j-Clubs} .
