Hellmuth Gets Short Within Two Hands; Jibes With Friedman
Seven Card Stud
Phil Hellmuth had already mucked his board while Dave Rogers meshed his cards together, exposing 
for a full house. Both engaged in some table chat and Rogers admitted he already had too many chips of his short stack invested and put Hellmuth on "maybe a pair of tens".
Dave Rogers: 
/ folded on fourth
Phil Hellmuth: / 
folded on sixth
Brian Yoon: / 
The next stud hand followed shortly thereafter in which Brian Yoon completed and received two callers. Yoon paired his king right away on fourth to bet and Hellmuth was the only caller. Another bet by Yoon and call by Hellmuth followed on fifth before Yoon bet sixth to force out Hellmuth.
More bad news for Hellmuth came shortly after when an animated discussion with Adam Friedman from one table over unfolded.
Apparently, both had a discussion about the mark-up charged by Hellmuth for this very event in which the 16-time WSOP gold bracelet winner entered in the last level of the registration period.
Hellmuth was heard remarking "Why would you try to tilt me in the $50k you motherf*****" to Friedman.
The spat was still going on a few minutes later.
"Don't ever come up to me in a tournament again. Even the guys at my table are saying you're out of line," he said. "Just know you'll never win as much as me so there's probably some jealousy going on."
"Come on bud," Matthew Gonzales said to Hellmuth in an attempt to defuse the situation.
