Phil Hellmuth: /

Besim Hot completed and Phil Hellmuth raised, Hot called. Hellmuth bet each street and Hot called quickly from fourth to sixth. After seventh, he took off his sunglasses and carefully studied Hellmuth's cards, shook his head and eventually tossed in a call.
"Just the threes," Hellmuth said and mashed his cards together, Hot turned over 
for a pair of queens and Hellmuth shot out of his chair.

The next big pot was brewing when Hellmuth raised a bet by Hot on sixth, who called and checked in the dark. Hellmuth gave up the pot and announced "just the nines" by tabling 
. Hot turned over 
for a set of fours and raked in the next big pot.
"This might be the fastest tournament ever, you win every hand," Hellmuth said and dropped to a major disadvantage.
