Phil Hellmuth is the Bubble Boy
It took awhile, but bubble has finally burst.
It happened when action folded to [Removed:17] and he raised to 40,000. Mike Leah called, as did Phil Hellmuth in the big blind, and three players saw a flop of 
. Action checked to Leah and he bet 55,000, which only Hellmuth called with just over 200,000 chips behind.
On the 
turn, Hellmuth checked again and Leah moved all in. The "Poker Brat" spent quite some time in the tank, removed his headphones, and double checked his cards.
"What do you have, Mike?" he asked. About 30 seconds later he pushed his stack forward and they tabled their cards.
Hellmuth: 
Leah: 
Hellmuth had top pair with a flush draw, and he needed to hit it as Leah had a flush. Only a non-nine heart could save Hellmuth, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
blanked on the river sending a devastated "Poker Brat" home as the bubble boy.
