Hellmuth Set to Explode?
A star-hungry crowd continues to swamp the rail by Phil Hellmuth, sinisterly awaiting his eruption like vampires in need of a fix.
At the moment, they may well get their wish as Hellmuth is growing more frustrated by the hand, and now has just 1,000 after a recent encounter with his fresh-faced neighbour.
With the young unknown raising the button to 300, Hellmuth made the call from the small blind - albeit after, seemingly, contemplating a raise - thus taking us to a flop.
Both the flop and turn were checked down, but the button made a bet of 300 on the river. Hellmuth immediately called before being shown .
Hellmuth looked rather disgusted, and held back his cards as the table waited patiently. Then, eventually, he revealed the and flung them into the muck with a disgruntled look on his face. He didn't explode, or pass derogatory comment, but you could sense that one more poke would do it.
