Hellmuth Busto in True Hellmuthian Style

Phil Hellmuth - eliminated
Phil Hellmuth - eliminated

Phil Hellmuth blow-ups have been rare the last few months, ever since "mindset coach" Sam Chauhan took Hellmuth under his wing. But we were just treated to a Vintage Hellmuth Rant here after Hellmuth busted out eight spots short of the money in this event.

David "Devilfish" Ulliott opened pre-flop from the cutoff with a pot-sized raise of 21,000. Hellmuth was in the big blind and was the lone caller to a flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}. He checked to Ulliott, who double-checked his cards before betting 25,000. Hellmuth quickly and loudly announced, "I'm all in," for probably 75,000 total. Ulliott just as quickly called.

Hellmuth: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, trip tens
Ulliott: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}, the nut flush draw and an open-ended straight draw

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, a total blank. The river came {7-Clubs} to give Ulliott the nut flush. And that cued the Hellmuth fireworks.

"No he didn't!" cried Hellmuth. ("No he didn't!" Ulliott aped.) "This motherf***er--" ("This motherf***er--") "What are you doing, Fish?" Hellmuth asked.

"How the f*** can I fold that?" Ulliott replied.

"You're a f***ing moron. You know you're not supposed to call with that." There were a few more choice remarks before Hellmuth made sure he hadn't missed anything in his hand. Hellmuth remained muttering under his breath while the stacks were counted down to make sure Ulliott had Hellmuth covered. Then Hellmuth was off to drown his pain in a far corner of the room.

"He shouldn't have called with ace-six-f***ing-king," Ulliott said to the table after Hellmuth departed. "I like my call more than his."
