Hands #8-12: Hellmuth Launches Into a Tantrum

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hand #8: Yu Kurita raised to 7,500 under the gun and won the pot.

Hand #9: Phil Hellmuth raised to 11,000 from the cutoff and then called when Alex Antonios three-bet to 28,500 from the button. Hellmuth checked the {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, but then woke up with a check-raise to 50,000 after Antonios bet 23,500. Antonios made the call and then called a big bet of 77,000 from Hellmuth on the {A-Spades} turn. Both players followed that up by checking the {2-Clubs} river.

Hellmuth tabled the {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, but it was no good as Antonios had turned a pair with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Hellmuth shot out of his chair in disbelief, claiming that he'd been studying his opponent for days and was waiting for such a spot.

"It doesn't make sense to me. How bad can you play?" Hellmuth said while chastising Antonios for calling his check-raise on the flop. This type of banter continued for the better part of five minutes.

Hand #10: Three players saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Steven Zhou checked from the big blind. Antonios bet 8,500 from the cutoff, Michael Tran folded from the button, and Zhou called. When the {10-Hearts} appeared on the turn, Zhou bet 20,000, Tran called, and the {K-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Zhou check-called a bet of 28,500 but mucked when Antonios tabled the {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for two pair.

Hand #11: Zhou raised to 7,000 from the small blind and Hellmuth folded the big.

Hand #12: Zhou raised to 7,000 from the button, Antonios called from the big blind, and it was heads-up action to the {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop. Antonios checked and then folded when Zhou bet 7,500.
